Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Currently, when downloading a book to the device, it keeps it in an $Author/$bookName structure . I would like to either customize the structure, or at least have the possibility to have a flat structure e.g. "$author - $bookName".

Why would this be helpful?

Context: I mainly using this app to browse and download audiobooks to my phone, but not for listening (I'm using a different app for listening). The app I use doesn't work well with the nested structure ( in case of multiple books under the same author), so currently I have to manually move the books to the parent folder after downloading a book to the device.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Either a checkbox (flat solution) or text field (custom structure solution). Default to current implementation.

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.9.81
