Describe the feature/enhancement

#435 allows updating chapter metadata in ABS which is great. But some of the M4Bs I've tested it with have chapter marks a few seconds different from where audnexus reports them. But the number of chapters and relative lengths/positions are very close (+/- a few seconds). But this small difference is very noticeable when skipping chapters. Playback can sometimes start in the middle of a chapter name.

I propose allowing importing of chapter names, with an option to leave chapter start times unmodified. I imagine this is not an issue with split chapter MP3s since the files will not be modified.

This is now a duplicate of #991 will use that as the main thread for this. #927 is also relevant
