This is my modified custom web source for mp3tag. The original authors are qudo, dano, and Romano https://community.mp3tag.de/t/ws-audible-albums-and-series/41227.
This script makes quick work of ensuring all audiobooks are tagged properly, have the correct filenames, and have the proper folder structure. This ensures consistency across Plex/Prologue, Booksonic, and other audiobook players. This is a part of a larger guide on setting up audiobooks on Plex and Booksonic https://github.com/seanap/Plex-Audiobook-Guide
