Describe the feature/enhancement

I'm still searching and tagging my almost 6000 books large library right now, but I already noticed that i've got some books where ABS (or probably FFMPEG) just detected an incorrect length, almost doubling the length displayed for the audio book. The actual MP3 is 20 minutes in length, whereas ABS detected it to be a few hours long. I thus tried to find a quick way to rescan and try to fix this error, but there doesn't seem to be a way to rescan specific books to try and fix those mistakes. Could we get a tool for that, maybe within the tools section of the audio book entry edit screen or something?
