Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Add filter for "has audiobook" similar to the ebooks filter

Why would this be helpful?

I keep my ebooks for audiobooks side by side, but in some cases only have an ebook. I would like to be able to exclude ebook only and search only for things that have audiobooks but i cannot find a filter that allows me to do so.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

I love this idea. I also keep my media side by side, for each of finding and sending to kindle and not having two libraries.

In the "Library" view you can select a filter for "Tracks" -> "No tracks" that will effectively show you items that only have ebooks. It's not exactly intuitive and unfortunately it does not affect anything on the "Home" view or in the search results.

That is the exact opposite of what I want. I want only audiobooks. There's
a filter for has ebooks, but not audiobooks.

Based on the screenshot in the response, could you just select things that have single track/multi track and leave the no track option unselected? That seems like it would return anything that has an audio track. It may also include things that have an ebook as well, but it would also include all things with audio tracks.

Inelegant solution for sure. I'd much prefer a Boolean filter set to allow any combinations, where there are individual check boxes for

"hasAudioTrack" = true/false
"hasEbook" = true/false

Allow the user to find only audiobooks (audio=true, ebook=false), ebooks only (audio=false, ebook=true), both (audio=true, ebook=true)

I'm unfamiliar if this enhancement request is dedicated to the web interface and not the android app but there is a disparity between the webui and android app filter sets. The track filter is not available on the android app as far as I can tell. Only the ebook filter

The tracks filter doesn't appear to be there in the mobile app either from
what I'm finding
