Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Read the abridged tag from the audiobook file

Why would this be helpful?

I prefer to keep most audiobook tags in the m4b file, this way all tools & servers can read from 1 source.

Adding the abridged tag, completes this for me currently.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

I'd like to see this too.

On my own files I'm setting RECORDINGTYPE to be Abridged or Unabridged. I've also been considering having ABRIDGED hold a 0 or 1.

I'm also creating NFO files and have abridgement set as follows (abridged would be 'Yes' in this example):
Abridged: No
