I incorrectly posted this as a separate thread here. If that was not ok, then moderators please remove. I'm pasting the same info here.

Just looking for at least a "basic" one that can search for the book title and author on Audible.com and return the metadata that the user can choose and auto fill custom columns.
This is the basic stuff that shows in an audible listing.
As with many things, this will not always be perfect, especially since the search would be based on the boot title and author only.

Ex:

Narrator(s)
Length (in decimal hours or a text formal such as 9hr13min - user choice in settings if possible)
Whether or not it's abridged or unabridged
Publisher of Audibook
IF POSSIBLE, the price at time of search.

I suggest custom column lookups below, but perhaps these could also be left to the user to customize too. I've seen all of these customization abilities in other "basic" plug-ins.

I say "basic" both as the type of metadata but knowing none of this is simple. I just hope someone else who can will see the value of this.

I use Calibre to keep a record of books I have but also want to be able to store this info for my listings in a batch operation and be able to do the quick lookups and comparisons that Calibre allows. I can already easily look for the book in a custom search (Search the Internet plug-in), but the time to type the info is a waste of time when it could be automated.

Default column lookups and names (but customizable).

#narrator / Narrator(s) - Author listing format (avail in Tag browser)
#audibletime / AudibleLength (in decimal hours or a text formal such as 9hr13min - user choice in settings if possible) - Numeric or text format
#Abridged / Abridged? - Text format or Yes/No with check likely for Abridged since I think there are fewer of those or a Tag format limited to Abridged and Unabridged (avail in Tag Browser)
#audiblepublisher / Audible Publisher - Publisher format(author listing) (avail in Tag Browser)
#audibleprice / Audible $ - Decimal format

I know how to request but not do this. If you want a tester or a partner to "fill in the obvious", I think I could do that if you get the framework going...I hope.
