just some thoughts:

"(feat. narrator: Rock Hardfoot)" feels so bulky why not "(read by Frederike
Schönton)" or "spoken by"..

also i really don't want english annotations on my german audiobooks and
vica versa so i would prefer "(gelesen von Name)"


for titles:
i'd prefer
Story/Bookname: [Chapter_Numeral | "Chapter_Titel",] [Part_Numeral |
"Track_Title"]

examples:
no chapter no tracktitel given:
The Lime Works: Chapter 2, Part 1

chapter title, no tracktitel:
The Lime Works: The Dawn of the Style, Part 1

chapter title and tracktitel given:
The Lime Works: The Dawn of the Style, "undreamed-of possibilities"

german numbering:
Das Kalkwerk: Kapitel 2, Teil 2

why include the story/bookname? because some audiobooks include several
short stories.

for this libretto style: i've never seen something like that used for
audiobooks and i doubt anyone would listen and type for every track so i
would leave that out.

some audiobooks have different voice actors that play roles. in that case i
would just add the main performer to the release title and do the rest with
ARs.

@[End Credits]
sometimes (with the books i have almost always) the credits are at track 1,
so i would just call them [credits]
