I would love to see full audiobook support. I have some audible titles as well as CD.

I am currently using the MP3 tag reader plugin with each book represented by an M3U playlist containing all the chapters with a full path to each MP3 or AAX file.

This is ok but finding the metadata can be a problem.

The present Amazon plugin does find the some audiobook records sometimes (some audio cd and occasionally audible). It seems to be a little hit and miss as to whether the audible or audio cd is found in the amazon metadata search.

The audio cd, audible and kindle versions exist on different URL's because of the different id's. Presenting all these options in the metadata search (marked appropriately) would be ideal.

nb: On 2nd thoughts this may be better in the plugin ideas thread. Maybe it is just a matter of the amazon metadata plugin.

Reason: Possibly better in plugin ideas thread. amazon id not asin, realised audible and kindle on amazon too.
