Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

While the Audiobook File Management Tools include the tool "Embed Metadata", there is no equivalent tool for podcasts. This enhancement would allow users to have ABS write the current metadata from ABS to the underlying files' id3-tags.

Why would this be helpful?

If you download the files or send them to a friend, the (additional) metadata stored in ABS is currently stuck there and can't be easily shared with the files. This enhancement would allow the transfer of up-to-date metadata for podcasts.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

An "Embed Metadata"-tool like the one used for audiobooks:

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.22.0
