Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I did a quick search and don’t think it’s been asked before so I’m not sure if there’s any plans to integrate but would be awesome to have a similar setup to the Plex <> Overseer <> Sonarr/Radarr setup for books, ability to search a repository that is used for book meta data look up (eg GoodReads, GoogleBooks etc) and it determine if you have that book and if not you could add it to a Wishlist it would send a request to Readarr or Readarr could read ABS’ Wishlist. If none of the other features then a global search and Wishlist would be awesome alone, which would even integrate with a goodreads list.

Why would this be helpful?

The Wishlist would make managing the library a lot easier, eliminate the need for multiple services for the end user.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Audiobookshelf Server Version

V2.19.2

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

Doesn’t exist currently

ABS does not support or promote piracy. It is designed to serve your own files, and does not include obtaining files.

With that said, there are a few issues related to managing a wishlist and missing books. Related to:
Release calendar https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/443
Goodreads integration https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/281
