Since you've gone ahead and made some changes at my suggestion, I'm seeing the effect of them, which opens up another idea: mass edits.

A button that will give a one-page display of all books in the system, so mass edits can be more easily made. All the main fields, all on one page. Have them populated by the current value, and users can input whatever they want. Using copying, pasting, and the clipboard, it'd be much easier to to do big changes, like making them all part of a series, then putting the number in that series in the following field.

It'll also help as you develop things further, changes are made, and people need to go back and do yet another edit to all their audiobooks as fundamental back end changes are implemented.

I added this in v0.9.84-beta. Selecting multiple audiobooks allows a batch delete and batch update.

Batch update functions pretty much exactly how you described with a limitation being you cannot edit covers there.

My tests have been going well, but it is a bigger update so I'm sure there are bugs, let me know if you find any.

Well, your implementation is a bit different from what I was thinking. I was thinking more like a button that would get them all into one big table view, kind of like the Mass Editor on Sickchill/Medusa/Sonarr and the like.

Not even bothering with the covers (and you can't change 'em anyway), but just practically a table view that list's everyone's everything.

Still, though, the concept is there. And now that I can do this, I'll open up another issue for you on alphabetization.
