Please point me to schema or list of columns
I want to merge my audiobook collection into Calibre but need to keep it distinct from the current library which is exclusively eBooks. I'm having trubble finding reference to a record characteristic that could be used to distinguish between the two types of books (and eventually an old paperback collection).

I've tried tags and haven't been able to find a clear and efficient way to use them.

Any/all suggestions would be appreciated, though my preference is a column other than tags that can be used. Otherwise it seems that I would have to resort to a custom column—not my first choice, which is why I'm bothering you.

I use search expressions : formats:"=MP3" or formats:"=M3U" for my Audio virtual library, and formats:"=paperbook" for my Paper virtual library. The paperbook format files are empty text files with the extension .paperbook.

Thanks, theducks, that would be a nice way to use tags.

Thanks, DaltonST, I suppose that's a wrinkle on custom columns; I prolly could make that work.

That is ideel, BetterRed! Uses existing column and I don't have to remember any customization done to the schema. Fank yew, fank yew, fank yew, Ah'm grapeful frum dee boddum uv mah hart!
