Describe the Feature/Enhancement

As a daily user of AudioBookShelf I would like the ability to indicate that some playlists auto-download. If I add a book to a playlist that has auto-download on, the files for the books in this playlist will be downloaded at the earliest possibility (possibly WiFi only). If auto-download is off, no change, same old behavior

Why would this be helpful?

It would remove the need to manually download and avoid times when offline and looking to listen to a book that’s not downloaded

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

No screenshot but it could be a simple toggle in the playlist screen

Audiobookshelf App Version

iOS App - 0.9.77

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

No response
