I think they should. I think I've even added some.

Remember, this is Musicbrainz, not CDBrainz. Also note that CD-Roms 
shouldn't be included, but last time I looked there was a huge amount of 
junk listed under the artist "data disc" or similar. IMHO, audiobooks 
shouldn't be included, but other people seem to like adding them, and 
I'm not going to insist they get taken off.
