[Enhancement] Improved Folder Structure/Hierarchy for Downloaded Audiobooks
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
- Authors with multiple book series have their books jumbled together.
-
Author/Title/<files>
seems to be less organised and harder to navigate thanAuthor/Series/Title/<files>
.
Describe the solution you'd like
- The option to use
Author/Series/Title/<files>
. - And, the option to use
Author/Series/Title/Part/<files>
for books that are sold in multiple parts (e.g. the larger Graphic Audio books, like anything from Brandon Sanderson).
Describe alternatives you've considered
- I manually update the folder structure after downloading the audiobook using a 3rd party file manager, and then play the audiobook through a different app (also because I need other features)
References
- This was mentioned in one of the comments on #194, but since it's not the top comment which can be supported with a thumbs up, I wanted to post a dedicated enhancement issue.
Side Note
Audiobookshelf is amazing and it solves so many problems! Really nice work! In case it matters, a Google search that led me to a Reddit post is how I found out about Audiobookshelf.
I would add the request to be able to either use the original folder names for the downloaded folders, or a custom naming scheme where you can add the sequence number to the downloaded folder name.
(This is also to support using the books in other apps on the phone)
As a new user I'm also in agreement about needing some flexibility in the downloaded file structure. As I use Smart Audio Player on android, my prefered format to keep things clean is either '[Author]/[Series]/[Book #] - [Title]' or just '[Author] - [Series]/[Book #] - [Title]'. If we could do some basic download structure building (Either a format string or blocks) or at least had a couple choices for greater compatibility that'd be great. It stripping the book number from the download causes me headaches when trying to download a whole series to go through especially.
