Is there a unique identifier for audiobook? (jlai.lu)

I have been listening to more books than I have been reading these days and I want to be able to add them properly on my book tracker.

Is there some unique identifier for an audiobook? I guess the ISBN of the book will tell me the exact words of the edition but the same words with another cover have a different ISBN and the same ISBN is used for to different narrator.

What do you know about this topic? Thank you in advance.

Resurrecting this post from the dead to respond:

Digital Audiobooks do not require ISBNs. Those sold through Audible, Amazon and iTunes get a number assigned by Amazon.
