Describe the issue

I had 2 entries for the same author with slightly different names due to their metadata.
When editing both of them to have the exact same name and ASIN, the 2 entries do not get merged.
Screenshot of issue: [imgur link]

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Import 2 books of the same author with different author name in metadata
  2. Manually edit the data of both to be the same

Audiobookshelf version

v2.0.1

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker
