How and under what circumstances is a "group" assigned to an audiobook?
Posted: March 10th, 2024, 5:32 pm
I've just noticed (have I been blind all this time???) that the catalog entry for at least some audiobooks in our catalog has a "group" property.
I noticed this when looking here: https://librivox.org/history-of-egypt-chaldea-syria-babylonia-and-assyria-vol-4-by-gaston-maspero/
I think it's a very nice feature. It could clearly be applied, for example, to recordings I have made of Thomas Carlyle's three volume History of the French Revolution, of which this is volume 1: https://librivox.org/the-french-revolution-vol1-ver2-thomas-carlyle/
I don't believe there's anywhere in the New Project template where someone proposing a new project can suggest a group.
Can anyone shed light on what triggers the use of this feature, and on how, for example, it has come to be applied to one sequence of related history texts and not to another?
As it happens, I have just now completed recording the fourth and final book in Ford Madox Ford's "Parade's End" tetralogy. Would it be logical and in accordance with the intended use of this field to include all four volumes in a group called "Parade's End"?
None of this is in any sense a complaint — just a request for enlightenment!
