Feature Request: Support for Audiobook (m4b) Metadata Fetching

[Dale Stevens]

Hi Damiano,

First, let me quickly give my sincere thanks to you for your work on this product/project. I really love it, and it’s been so helpful for so long. Donated a while back too!

I’ve been using Subler heavily (like most) to organize my various media files. I was recently starting down the path of organizing my Audiobooks, and a lot of them are missing the correct metadata. I saw that Subler can open and understand M4B files, but does not have native support for searching for metadata. Given what you do for iTunes/AppleTV, do you think it would be possible to do the same for Audiobooks from iTunes/Books? I imagine the iTunes API (I’m assuming there is one, and that’s what you’re using) would be able to return similar info for Audiobooks?

I’m imagining a new Type would go along with Movie and TV Show as Audiobook?

Thanks so much for your consideration!

There is an AudibleAPI library written for C#, which is used by Libation which I imagine could be fairly easily adapted to Swift? https://github.com/rmcrackan/AudibleApi

Personally, I would love to see this feature. There are scripts for Mp3Tag for scraping Audible metadata as well, but I’m finding that process buggy and unreliable and I really want to clean up my audiobook metadata.

Additionally, if there were some way to automate saving books in a author/series/series#. title - year {narrator}/file.m4b (or similar) structure would be awesome.
