Danielle Clement | 4 comments Hi,
The metadata on this item states that there are 12 pages but this is an audio book. Shouldn't it list how many discs or hours instead?

There are 10 CD discs (ca. 72 min. each) for this productShopaholic and Baby

Can this be updated?

Danielle Clement | 4 comments well how come some of the audio books actually list how many cds are included so when you update your progress on a book you can click which cd you are ok...seems like it would be more appropriate to update this book like all the others instead of listing "pages" since there aren't pages in a cd.

Limitation of the system. It's only set up to list pages or percentage. As to why we use hours, not CDs, it was decided long ago that that's the policy we'd be following. And if a book on Goodreads lists CDs in the pages section, it should be changed to hours.
