I have been listening to more books than I have been reading these days and I want to be able to add them properly on my book tracker.

Is there some unique identifier for an audiobook? I guess the ISBN of the book will tell me the exact words of the edition but the same words with another cover have a different ISBN and the same ISBN is used for to different narrator.

What do you know about this topic? Thank you in advance.

Each edition of a book has its own ISBN, so you just need to find the ISBN for your audiobook edition

For example, an ebook, audiobook, paperback, and hardcover edition of the same book must each have a different ISBN assigned to it.

Oh...I see. I thought ISBN would only applied to physical edition. Thank you for clearing this up.
