Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When matching audio book to local media meta information is not saved to the file.

Describe the solution you'd like

Option to also save to the AudiobookShelf Database and or update meta data in file. (*When possible)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually using mp3 Tag to update data.

Additional context

Would be useful for cases when copying an individual file and using it outside of AudioBookShelf

This is already supported using "embed metadata", but does not automatically update the metadata in the file during a match in case something goes wrong. Some file formats have more problems than others (such as m4b with covers)

Hey Nichwall, you are correct I see there was a toggle in settings to allow for the meta data to be saved.

Thank you.
