Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

In the library view, optionally display the narrator in the text block under the cover art. Option could be selected via the ellipses, where you can currently select "show subtitle".

Why would this be helpful?

You can have several audiobooks with the same title and author, but different narrators. Frequently, the cover thumbnail isn't enough to know the narrator. Instead, you need to click into the books to identify which book is narrated by which narrator. Adding the narrator in the library view means you don't need to drill in to differentiate, and you can more easily use the bulk / multi-select functions in the library view.
