I get CDs and occasionally I listen to the app I do find it slightly annoying though when they do not list the actors or directors and sound design stuff even after months of being on the site.
Come on Big Finish-Finish what you start.

do you mean that since they took the decision to record credits, there are some productions that haven’t done so? Or that there are people missing from the credits that you would like to see appear? Or that the credits just don’t appear in the app but they do on the CD? Or that they haven’t retrospectively gone back to record credits for productions that were ‘in the can’ before the decision was taken? If it’s the latter, I don’t think it’s something they could reasonably be expected to do. Yes take recent Bernice set- no actors listed for each story-on the download Directors etc |

But like everything you cannot please everyone No perhaps am not clear. I mean the written Credits in the side bar. Emissary and Tyrants have been out a few months the information is available on the Cd Cover why not give the same Info to the download purchasers.I always want to know who an actor was that played a part and am sure the actor himself/herself would like to be credited too,surely? I have a blind friend who appreciates the audio credits |

Yes take recent Bernice set- ON THE DOWNLOAD _no actors listed for each story Directors etc ah, thanks for the example. 🙂 I only really listen to the Short Trips through the app, and I didn’t get the latest Bernice box set. If the credits aren’t consolidated at the end of the final story like on most other boxers that I have downloaded, I might assume it’s done to reduce download sizes for customers. Possibly worth lobbying BF if it aggrieves you! 🙂 I wasn’t clear i will try altering the title lol |

ahhhh now I get you. The BF app doesn’t have the director information etc on its pages for some products - yes, this really ought to be part of the written process for when they go live with the release on the app. Yes agree,it’s kind of dismissive and i think shows real love for their actors,writers and directors one might think they just want the money 😉 |

I have a blind friend who appreciates the audio credits I see now, yes agree it should be there.......but like I keep saying downloads often fells like second best yeah understand why the visually impaired find it useful.......for me it’s the same annoyance when you have a ten minute music suite between episode 2 & 3........ |

It’s an oversight that I’d bet they would be willing to correct and amend going forward if their attention is drawn to it. Consistency across their platforms is a desirable trait that shows their professionalism. Nah I have no axe to grind with BF lol. I love them really I got banned from reviewing on Amazon because i was kind of enthusiastic about them and they thought I worked for the company haha. I never bothered to contest it. Yes well obviously the downloaders don’t mind... |

But like everything you cannot please everyone I like having spoken credits on recent releases. It’s almost always a separate track (on the mp3 version, anyway), so you can easily skip over them if you don’t like them. |

But like everything you cannot please everyone how dare you adopt such a reasonable approach?! 😉 I don’t like the ident so I don’t include that when I download the stories, but I don’t go to the bother of stripping it out if it’s part of the first track. I actually quite enjoy the credits as I tend not to look at cast lists on the site and sometimes hearing the actor credited pleasantly surprises me ( How on earth did they secure X to play that role?!) I don't really like the ident, either. I mean, if it were for, say, BBC Radio repeats, I get it. But when I've bought the thing direct from BigFinish.com, opened the CD case with BF logos all over it, or downloaded it on the Big Finish app, or from the Big Finish site, and opened up the zip which comes with the relevant issue of Vortex, the official Big Finish newsletter........ I think I know I'm listening to a Big Finish production, thanks.  It's only a very small, wafer-thin annoyance though. |

1st Doctor Companion Chronicles Vol. 3 in the app still says "TBA" for some of the writers and cast. It just looks sloppy and lazy.
