The option to Quick Embed is listed under the tools tab of individual audiobooks.
Could there possibly be a embed all option. this might be helpful to those who just created/started abs.
You could also have a flag to state this book is already embeded, so the scanner could skip that one.

Batch embed was added in the last release but you must batch select items.

There is an issue open for checking if a book has updated metadata #1054

I see the ability to ad metadata on a per item basis. I was hoping to see in the Settings->Item Metadata Utils -> an option to mass embed. If you have a big library, and manually selecting each individual item is counter productive.

I'm leaving this open because adding an option to embed metadata for the entire library is something we might add.

If you hold down the "Shift" key when batch selecting you can select many library items at once.
