Those plugins above are constantly brought up anytime someone mentions audiobooks. However, neither one do anything to help you get real metadata for an audiobook. I have both and have studied them. Both only really help IMPORT the files for creating the records in Calibre.

Calibre is sorely lacking any support to get audiobook metadata. There is no Audible metadata plug-in, even though my searches in this forum show it has been requested many times. Amazon is frequently mentioned as a supported source, but there is no way I have found to make it show the audiobook version. Same with Goodreads. It's not that they don't have the audiobooks, but there is no way to tell either plugin that you want the audiobook version of data.

Even though this is my first post, I have been following this topic for years. I have been using Calibre for a decade, and have very large ebook and audiobook libraries. I keep mine separated because I need to "serve" the libraries using different interfaces (calibre-web for ebooks, booksonic for audiobooks).
