Audiobook support

Hello,

How would go about renaming audiobooks, it's a mix of M4B (MPEG-4 Audio Book) files and some other audiobooks as MP3 files per chapter. Most of the audiobooks end up in the unsorted dir.

What I'm looking for it to have them something like:
book title - author/book title - author.m4b
or
book title - author/book title - author - part.mp3

And does filebot is able to fetch metadata from Goodreads, Librarything, GoogleBooks or any book API?
This would be to create CUE files with named chapters, cover art.

Regards

Unfortunately, support for audio books and various related online data bases is not planned.

If the files are well-tagged, then you might be able to organize them quite will using existing ID3 / MP4 metadata:

Some degree of processing for audiobook files may be possible akin to mp3tag web sources scripts:

The idea is to extract some information from the file name or file content (i.e. MediaInfo properties) and then check the response. FileBot can certainly do that.

We would need sample files for that though. Can't code blindly without test data:
