1. Create a scanner for audiobooks. There is an existing audible scanner.
2. Read the file attributes to pull data such as Author.
3. Group books when they are part of a series (suggest using nested folders).
4. Add Narrated by field (may require manual population).
5. Remember playback location, even within the series if playback was from the series.
6. Support audio dramas, plays, podcasts.

It’s better to add your vote/comments to the existing thread. Starting a new thread just splits votes.
