Describe the feature/enhancement

Today I can only mark a item as "abridged" or not.
But it would be very help full to be able to have following types

  • Audiobook full reading ( today equal with abridged = no)
  • Audiobook abridged reading ( today equal with abridged = yes)
  • Radio play
  • Live-act ( comedian, cabaret etc)
  • (what else ?)
    Some items exists as Audiobooks but also as Radio play!
    Perhaps you can use the existing field "abridged" ( integer) in table "books"
    -1 = undef ( default for new item)
    0 = Audiobook abridged = no
    1 = Audiobook abridged = yes
    2 = Radio play
    3 = Live Act

I have thousands of items and as more items you have as more important is the possibility of an differentiated search.

Can you use a Tag to differentiate the different types?

yes this would be possible. My workaround today is the usage of Genre

But I need tu use a prefix "like "aa_TP-" to be able to keep all types togehter when use the filter:

Also Audible differentiate between Audiobooks (full/abr) and Radio play ;)..
and I really think to user the existing field ( and rename it) would be a easy way, so we can keep the stored data.

Will there need to be combinations of items types? Like can a single item be both "Abridged" and "Radio Play" because there may also both "Unabridged" and "Radio Play"?

I don't think so .The typeof an item can only be either audiobook or radio play or Live act. Only Audio book can be full or abridged"
