There is no command for this yet. But you can use the API with audible api -m put -b '{"asin": "ASIN_TO_ADD"}' -i 4 library/item

I'm sure this is a me issue. I made a script following what you said above (also figured this git would be better for this comment):

readarray -t asin < asin.txt;

for a in "${asin[@]}"
do  
    echo $a;
    audible api -m put -b '{"asin": $a}' -i 4 library/item
done;

asin.txt contains all the asin I would like to auto-add. My script returns the following:

$ bash audible_add_to_library.sh 
887558828

Just hoping I can have some help here.

Solved my own issue. Had to do with the single quotes. Here is how I solved it

readarray -t asin < asin.txt;

for a in "${asin[@]}"
do  
    a='{"asin": "'"$a"'"}'
    echo $a;
    audible api -m put -b "$a" -i 4 library/item
done;

@johnlescault Thank you for writing the script. I'll work now on an implementation for adding and removing books. It will look similar to the wishlist command.

[tdguchi]

It could be useful to implement a subfunction to detect which asins are downloaded and flag them, so if you delete the .aaxc chapters or covers from the folder it doesnt download again (for large library and small disk space) unless you add another flag to force re-download

[mkb79]

You can provide a --start-date and --end-date for this. So you can initially use audible download ... --all --end-date 2022-10-1 after that successfully download of all items you can remove them and next time you run audible download ... --all --start-date 2022-10-1.
