Recursively scan folders for Audiobooks

Open grrrrr opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Currently it appears that AutioAnchor will only scan one folder deep, this is quite limiting in how you add audiobooks or somewhat throw any organized folder structure out the window.

As I might have a number of books by the same author I organize as follow

SD Card
   |_ Audibooks
       |_ Author 1
          |_ Book 1
          |_ Book 2
       |_ Author 2
          |_ Book 1
          |_ Book 2

Using this structure, if I add the Audiobooks folder for import, I can see a list of imported authors in AudioAnchor but they are all empty.

To add all the books I would have to import each Book n folder separately which is time consuming.

A better option would be to recursively scan all folders as deep as is needed to ensure all books are added. To see this setup in use, check Voice app

I will think about it. Thanks for the suggestion!

That would be a great feature I miss in AudioAnchor.
