Q1 - can ratings be ignored on Import, AFAIK - not easily. But you can remove the ratings on multiple books in Metadata Edit. Select all books (Ctrl+A), press 'E', then in the Basic tab set Ratings to Not rated, check the Apply rating box, click OK - job done.

Q2 - don't auto-convert CBR and CBZ's. If auto convert settings are checked then I think the conversion will happen - i.e. there's no selectivity. I suggest you add the comics in batches after turning off the autoconvert options in Add Books->Control the adding of books.

Q3 - Audio Books - if you mean merge them into existing books - as in you have a epub and you want to add the MP3 to the same calibre book, you could do that via the calibredb command line tool, but you would need to match the MP3 to a book id (number). Otherwise drag-drop individually onto the matching Book Details panel. If you mean add them as new books, make sure the file names match the Add Books file name template, and drag/drop them en-masse into the book list.

Q4. Multiple Series - you can add a custom column that is a Series. Do a search in the Library Management subforum for 'multiple series', this has been discussed on several occasions.

I recommend you experiment with a test library, and ensure you have a recent backup of your libraries before any doing each major change.
