Describe the feature/enhancement

[Enhancement]: Download all files for an audiobook. Right now I can only download every single file separately. So for audiobook which have 100 mp3 files, it is difficult to do.

Yes I know about m4b, but it takes too much cpu usage, takes a lot of time and is unnecessary if I only need files. Probably creating archive file is needed. Why I need this ? For kids audiobook toys. You have to put audiobooks via cable to the toy.

how many titles are you talking about? for a number of reasons, my collection management has benefited greatly by transcoding all mp3s into m4b. it takes a little cpu time, but only once.

This is definitely a feature that I would like to see come back. I'd ditch booksonic completely if this was available again.

I made this a download button that will download a zip of the entire item folder. It will only show if the user has download permission.
