[Enhancement]: Filter by File Type (extension)

Describe the feature/enhancement

As I'm converting most to M4B, it would be nice to be able to view/filter which are still mp3. I see you have that filter for "has ebook", so something like that.

There is a multi-track filter which can be used for that purpose. Unless you have many single track mp3 audiobooks

I often do have single track.

I often do have single track.

If it's a single mp3 why convert it to m4b?

@gh0sti Aiming for a consistent library and I'm pretty deep in with the Apple ecosystem. Are there any disadvantaged aside from compatibility?

I agree with this. I have several files that are .mp3 files that I would rather be .m4b files and being able to filter where audio files are not .m4b files would be amazing...For right now I just do this in terminal and then go to audiobookshelf and run the update myself.

find /path/to/directory -name "*.mp3"
