Adding an audiobook

I've added plenty of audio books. I've never added one with a composer (not that that means yours doesn't have one). I make sure author is listed first and then reader(s) are listed after using role of "Narrator" or "Reader".I make sure to indicate if audiobook is unabridged or abridged in the Edition information. Number of pages on the edit screen = # hours of the audiobook rounded up (i.e., 13.5 hours = 14 pages). I also add audio length details to the top of the description to indicate # of CDs / audio length if you can find that information.
Most audiobook editions should have ISBN numbers. You should be able to find this information from the audiobook publisher or a reseller. Audible editions that I have added I've used the ASIN number listed on amazon.com.


I know
- title
- author
- publisher
- publication date
- narrator
- composer
- description
- language
- format
Unfortunately I don't have the phisical object at the moment, but I think I can find the duration somewhere: my question is, in which field do I add it (pages?), and in which format (hours? minutes?)? Also, do audiobooks have ISBNs?
Thank you
