Ok at the moment when you match a book with say Audible, if you have multiple authors, ABS recognises the commas separate the authors and adds them individually.

It doesn’t do this for narrators, and just adds multiple narrators as one big single entry, would it be possible for it to crate separate entries for each narrator instead of just one big long one with them all.

Hey @thebiggeordiegeek ! Can you share an example where this occurs? In my testing on some of my local books, it handles this properly and creates 2 different entries. If you can point us to an example where it does + the ASIN, that would be great -- we rely on an API for some of this information, so it's possible they aren't returning things in a clean way, and we'll need to account for it

I know a number of GraphicAudio for example have numerous narrators and they all get lumped into one entry if you match it with Audible. e.g. ASIN 1648812082 It also doesn't cut off at the end of the textbox but runs over and under the other boxes. As you see this one runs all the way behind the ASIN box and off the screen.

Thanks! I'm able to reproduce this on my end with that ASIN. At first glance, the API response seems the same, as other, working, multi narrator books I've matched with Audible. I'll report back my findings!
