I agree, why would we do that for audiobooks if we don't do that for 
regular music?
Do people play audiobooks with different software that is not able to 
read tags?
Just:
Chapter 1: foo
Chapter 2-4: bar
seems fine by me, and it is a lot less cluttered.

People can always use tagger scripts if they want the release name in 
the title, I think.
