Index or chapters needed

It is almost impossible to imagine that in this day and age an audiobook is offered without a list of stories, their authors and narrators, they are mentioned in the audiobook itself, though I found it frustrating that I could not choose a story and listen to it. A few of the listed titles are missing!
