Is There a Master List of Resources That Contain Read-Along Audio?
I thoroughly enjoy the editions of Logos books that I have that feature the audiobook alongside the book. I know many of the GNT have this feature, but every so often I run across a monograph that includes it, and I would like to be able to find more Logos books that feature it. There's some books that would seem they'd certainly have it but don't. Mark Ward's Authorized, published by Lexham and available in audiobook and ebook format on Logos oddly doesn't have this feature.
I'd like to know if there's any rhyme or reason as to which resources contain it. For reference, I'm talking about the books (pictured) that have a little audio icon next to the title in the Library and allow you to follow along with the narrator with the little "karaoke" ball that jumps around. A cool tip on these is if you press the audio icon rather than the book title it will continue playing the audiobook right where you left off on your last read… pretty handy.

I found some more resources which support this feature. Below you will find the links to these books, but note that you will also need to own/purchase the corresponding resource with the audio.

thanks this is great. How did you go about finding the list?

I searched metadata for the so-called "traits" of the resources which contain the "audio-target" trait.
This is mentioned e.g. in this thread (but Mark's LogosResourcesGuide website no longer exists):https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/1039021#Comment_1039021
Unfortunately, Logos does not provide an easy way of searching for traits. This was discussed in the forum, and people expressed interest in that:

wow that’s pretty nifty. I’m going to read each of those threads.
Since the site is no longer around, what did you use to search for the metadata?1 -
You can e.g. use the tools to read the SQLite database (catalog.db). This is mentioned in one of the above threads.

I'm going to assume this is all going to be out of my depth, but I'm going to give it a shot with the aid of GPT, and see what I can do.

I got it figured out, this will at least show me the books I have available which I only have to buy the audio version for, which is nice. I'd love to be able to view every Logos resource which has the audio-target option, certainly there's a few of them out there that I wouldn't mind purchasing.
