The formats listed below, like audiovisual materials generally, have somewhat looser guidelines in Chicago style.   Use the examples below as guides, but to some extent it's up to the writer to choose what is most important and what to emphasize.  As many of the following elements as are possible or practical should be included, in this order:

• Name of composer, writer, performer, or person primarily responsible for the content.  Include descriptions such as vocalist, director, etc. as appropriate.
• Year of publication.
• The title of the work, in italics or quotation marks as appropriate (generally speaking, quotation marks for a piece of a whole, italics for a complete work)
• Information about the work such as names of other contributors, date, and location of performance.
• Information about the publisher, particularly date of publication.
• Information about the format of the media: podcast, blog post, video, etc. and file format if relevant: MP3, AVI, etc.  Include media runtime if appropriate.
• Any additional relevant information.
• A URL if the media was retrieved online.
