Describe the issue

When i match a book through audible some books will be part of a Series with a comma in the name.
This happens a lot with Warhammer 40,000 Books and requires a lot of manual work to recreate the correct series after automatic matching.

The issue is quite similar to #916 i guess, but i did not want to hijack that issue.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Automatically match a Book (through audible) that is part of a series containing a comma. For example
    B09PVLZQGK The Emperor's Finest by Sandy Mitchell
  2. Save the automatic Match
  3. Check that it will have created the series for the Book, This should look correct for the moment
  4. ??? Not sure when exactly it happens but you can trigger it by re scanning the library
  5. Series should now be split into two series Ciaphas Cain: Warhammer 40 and 000 #7

Audiobookshelf version

v2.2.20

In v2.2.21 the server setting to use .json files for metadata instead of .abs was added. If you change to .json this will solve the issue.
For users using Abs before 2.2.21 it will have to be changed manually to json. For new users this is the default.
