Originally created by @burnshroom on GitHub (Jun 7, 2022).

Describe the feature/enhancement

Currently ABS does a great job of adding audiobooks via the watcher feature, which then I can simply go through each added book and match it to get the metadata up to date and it can be done fairly quickly.

However the embed metadate feature is a bit more involve.

I propose an option to select a group of books and simply select an "embed metadata" option and allow ABS to handle the process in the background, as opposed to having to watch it embed each title individually and then manually move to the next file and do the process again.

I would appreciate this feature very much. Currently, I'm using Postman to mass embed metadata by calling the REST API of ABS directly.
