As Manichean correctly said, this is a bad way to store your audiobooks. Calibre won't know about them, and will change its directories and move files if you change author/title. You shouldn't go into the folders that Calibre maintains.
If you want your audiobooks stored by Calibre, put the mp3s into a rar file, then add the rar file to the record for that book. Edit the metadata for that book and drag in the rar file. Then Calibre will know about the rar file and will keep it with your other ebook formats for that book.
