audiobooks features?

[kroryan]

So im loving jellyfin but i got around 300 audiobooks and i manage it with audiobookshelf, i think it would be great to get jellyfin to manage audiobooks like books but in audio, is it already possible?

The audiobook support of the book library type is limited and somewhat broken at the moment. Maybe it will get proper support in the future with it's own audiobook library: (see jellyfin/jellyfin-meta#87)

From my experience it's best to use a library of type audio/music and use proper tags for the audio files. Some metadata providers also have (limited) data for audiobooks, although they are primarily intended for music.
