Books/Audiobooks = novel CDs?24 messages

Lately quite a few Audiobooks / audiobooks have been added to the Book section. Wouldn't it make more sense — in the context of this catalog — if they were not listed under Books, but in the Music section (or actually: audio, or “Sound carriers”) ?! Preferably with an automatic “curiosa” link to the book section.

Especially now that the Music section will soon be renamed to Records and CDs, audiobooks belong there, yes.
After all, music DVDs are also moved to the DVD section.

This is indeed more logical yes. An audiobook does not necessarily have to be a CD, so it is also good if you can choose the sound carrier in Music (later “Records and CDs” but intended for all sound carriers).

But then under genre "Audiobook".
A link to the book would indeed be useful, but you can just link to a title, but a series.
Secretly I sometimes change the series with a book, but often I link it more to the writer. That work much easier, you can immediately see what else it has written by him.
Records / CDs / Cassettes, grab everything right away, I think.

In the past, audiobooks were indeed only available on cassette.
A (former) young colleague of mine always listened to audiobooks on his MP3 player. Are there already plans to include digital files in the catalog?
I know it is difficult for traditional collectors to imagine such a non-physical collection, but you can also see with music and films that the youngest generation no longer buys CDs or DVDs at all, but downloads everything.
I think you will miss an opportunity if you do not know how to win that audience for your website. Although I must admit that I also do not know exactly how to design such a catalog.

Nice thought, but you can also translate a digital collection into a non-digital collection.
All loose Music, E-Books, Movies, Etc that you digitally collected, you can just pretend you have the CD, DVD, book, etc. Useless to include digital files.
It would be too nice if there were trailers, demo music, viewing copies. But perhaps not useful for a catalog.
But back again, if you download an album from Anouk, for example, then you have that album. So you might as well look up that album in the catalog and add it to your collection.
You are not going to include every digital file, btw, it is often variable and changes faster than a physical collection.

This is going to be slippery ice.
True, you have Anouk's music but not the album
How well can you nowadays already print a copy at home (comic) book, paper money (it is not allowed) do you see the difference? do you have the book? or the album? or the $

That is why I also collect objects (hence my request to make music, LPs, etc. from the collection area). There are too many investors, who collect hot air and - sometimes - are disappointed. this also applies to digital files.

AvdP, you can only maintain a digital collection here if the content of all physical items can be accessed independently of those carriers.
If I have The Beatles song Yesterday as an MP3 file, then I cannot indicate that it is in my collection, even though the title is listed as such in the Catawiki database. I always have to choose whether it is a particular single, LP, cassette or CD, while that does not matter for digital files.
The same goes for the PDF of The Seven Crystal Balls that I illegally downloaded, or the eBook The Lost Symbol on my Kindle, or my Word file with the full text of Don Quixote.

Who's talking about legal?
;-)
Sorry I just picked the wrong random example.

Lol, I'm from BREIN and am going to sue you now. : P You can look forward to a fine of 1,000,000 euros. ;)
No, seriously, you just do that, if you have a loss number, apart from HOW you get it, you look for a single, album or something similar.

oh well, on a USB I have 20,000 science fiction books (the text not the cover). I'm really not going to include them all in Catawiki, watch out, I have better things to do…
So I really don't have the illusion that I have 20,000 (often rare) American SF books…

I'm not saying you should enter them. I am just saying that this website will miss connection with a whole new generation of collectors if it does not pay attention to this target group, for whom digital technology is a natural part of their lives. And even a mobile (iPhone) version of this website will remain no more than a gimmick, despite all the energy that is put into it.

Still, it gets tricky, because it's not a physical collection. You download a comic, book, CD, etc. and after a while just throw it away (delete). Paper is more alive and is therefore about markets.
We will see where it goes, I hear people say that they do not like digital reading, others are ideal.
There is still a lot of conflict between traditional media and digital media. Often they are put side by side. Recently I bought a DVD that came with a code for a digital copy. So I was able to legally download a copy and basically make my DVD obsolete.
There are people who like the packaging, its design and others don't care and just want the content.
Digital vs traditional has been around for years, since the Internet was on the rise. Whether ever the ship beach for the traditional I don't know. We cannot see into the future.

Point is simply why a van Gogh hanging on the wall a poster still shows the (same)!
Catawiki is a collectors site
And perhaps a dying breed
But to start recording downloads ? you do not have to search for this, what difference does it make that I or someone else has that item, nothing. Maybe it is / will be the new way of collecting ????

Again, we are not sticking to the lesson
Audiobooks = novel CDs?

Sorry master.
Shall I change the title?

Lol… in a forum it happens more often that there are deviations or things are added. That is a discussion.
So, well yes, as a healthy person I'm not going to indicate what I have digitally in music, films, etc… BREIN or another organization comes along and picks everyone who may be ' illigal 'download.
WTF man, I transferred all my CDs to MP3 . Then HAD I YES album, but not anymore. So actually I might as well look up the album and indicate that I have / had it, but digitally. So by my own notions "I have digital".
Done.
More about those audiobooks, they simply come under "music", which will later be called Records / CDs (/ Cassettes). So you put them here, with the genre "audiobook". It is just a CD with sound and therefore it falls under "music".

Course they are then placed under books. If the CD can also be released, next to the book, then under both. If the CD + (free) is BOOK then under CD, it is BOOK + (free) CD, then under books.
Simply sat.

Als het CD + (gratis) BOEK is dan onder CD, is het BOEK + (gratis) CD, dan onder boeken.

Waarmee bewezen is dat digitaal ‘verzamelde’ items GRATIS CD + GRATIS BOEK niet goed in de catalogus op te bergen zijn.

If it is CD + (free) BOOK then under CD, if it is BOOK + (free) CD, then under books.

This proves that digitally 'collected' items FREE CD + FREE BOOK cannot be properly stored in the catalogue.

What I meant was: Is it a book with a CD as an attachment, under book. If it is a CD with a book, then under CD.

I even know them with DVD and I thought you had them with LP and all the others.
