All,

I would like to request a new feature to the Plex environment. It would be great if Plex could natively support Audio Books. My wife and I love to listen to them and it would be fantastic if the system could support them. The basics would need to have metadata gathering, as well as progress tracking and retention. Beyond that, I don’t know what more you’d need to add to the music library system in order to make it work.

Thanks in advance for reading my request and I hope it gets approved.
