Web Interface/Frontend
Describe the Feature/Enhancement
Audiobooks would show:
Ebooks would show:
All would be the default / cleared filter, and would show all library items.
Why would this be helpful?
Currently there's no way to filter the library to only show any item which contains an audiobook that I've found (Regardless of multi/single track, I can filter to single track OR multi-track, but not both at once) - Glad to be corrected if I am wrong
Future Implementation (Screenshot)
(or just as a submenu in the existing filter as 'Media Type' -> 'All' / 'Audiobooks' / 'E-Books'
Audiobookshelf Server Version
2.12.1
Current Implementation (Screenshot)

You can already filter by presence of ebooks
@pekempy commented on GitHub (Aug 7, 2024):
Then maybe just an option for
Has tracksin the tracks submenu (displaying both single and multi-tracks in a single filter), which would show any audiobooks and exclude ebook only?@advplyr commented on GitHub (Aug 8, 2024):
"Has no ebook" would mean that it has tracks otherwise it wouldn't be able to get scanned in.
To select all books that are ebook only you would select "Tracks->No tracks"
To select all books that are audiobook only you would select "Ebooks->Has no ebook"

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Aug 8, 2024):
I see. I think adding "Has Tracks" to the "Tracks" menu would be the best solution
@sydlexius commented on GitHub (Aug 8, 2024):
This seems unintuitive, since these are two different categories to perform similar functions. My preference would be to have a media types category, and nest most if not all of the options in Tracks and Ebooks under that instead.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Aug 10, 2024):
Media types makes sense. If we add that we should remove both Tracks and Ebooks. What would the options for Media types be so that it covers all use-cases?
@pekempy commented on GitHub (Aug 10, 2024):
Media Types > Audiobooks > Has Tracks
Media Types > Audiobooks > Single track
Media Types > Audiobooks > Multi track
Media Types > Audiobooks > No Tracks
Media Types > Ebooks > Has Ebooks
Media Types > Ebooks > Has Supplementary Ebooks
Media Types > Ebooks > No Ebooks
Then obviously it would be clearable to show everything.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Aug 10, 2024):
Probably want to avoid double nesting like that if we can. The component would have to be written to support that and it is probably not necessary
@sydlexius commented on GitHub (Aug 10, 2024):
This is where I wish ABS supported multiple library filters (such as req #1465), because we're dealing with at least 4 bits of information (single track, multi track, ebook, supplementary ebooks), that leaves a configuration matrix of 16 possible combinations. To enumerate each possible combination isn't going to be pretty.
With that said, at the bare minimum one may want to know if a title contains an audiobook, ebook, or both (ignoring single vs. multitrack, regular vs. supplementary ebooks).
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Aug 10, 2024):
Yeah I'd like to do multi-filter but it will probably be a while before that happens if it does. Since we are still half-way through migrating to the new data model the sql queries as they are now are barely manageable.
We won't cover every possible permutation but we can cover the ones existing and the new one discussed in this thread.
@adapowers commented on GitHub (Nov 26, 2024):
Just adding a +1 to this issue. ABS is, unfortunately, a victim of its amazing work with audiobooks, and now my entire workflow is built around it, including ebooks. Quick access to an ebook/audiobook toggle would be amazing for my users who go the app to listen, but send books to their Kindles to read.
@jean874 commented on GitHub (Feb 20, 2025):
+1 to this. I am currently using a separate book library only for eBooks because there is no easy way to filter titles that have only an eBook or only an audiobook. I have some cases where I only own the eBook, and it creates a poor user experience to constantly guess whether an audiobook is attached to it or not. A simple top-level filter (Audiobook / Both / eBook) would completely solve this issue and allow me to use a single library for all my titles, which would be much more convenient.
