Finding 'Spoken Word' in Apple Music

[mac98aop]

Morning all

Every now and then when I search Apple Music (not my Library) it offers up suggestions that are categorised under 'Spoken Word' (ie, audio books). That category appears under the title of the suggestion when you tap it.  

I'd love to browse the Spoken Word charts and see what's there, but I simply cannot find any such place where all the Spoken Word audio is stored on Apple Music. I know one can search within Apple's 'Books' app, but the above suggests there are also some things to be find within Apple Music - but I can't find any anywhere! 

What am I doing wrong?!

Thanks in advance,

Adam

Wishful thinking, Adam? There is an artist named Spoken Word and an album featuring George the Poet all music items. No audio books other than an artist - Audiobooks with albums listed all music. Nothing narrative.

Hehe, no, Tony! It's there!

Search for 'Three Men in a Boat' and you'll find that it appears, all eight chapters of Jerome K Jerome's tome, categorised as Spoken Word and read by Hugh Laurie!

But I can't find that category anywhere else, nor any other such offerings!?

Not for me it isn’t

I tell a lie. These are all audiobooks released as CDs. I think you’ll find that more recent only downloadable audiobooks aren’t in Apple Music.

And if you scroll down in your list? It's there in mine.

Interesting about the CD release idea. I'm just wondering why it's categorised as Spoken Word but there just seems no way to find any others in that category.

Maybe there aren't any.... but unlikely?! Maybe they just don't want us to find any?!

I suspect it is an historical thing from when iTunes existed and also listed audiobooks
