Describe the feature/enhancement

Currently when creating a library you can choose either books or podcasts. My request is for the ability to have both. Mainly for audio drama usage, because some audio dramas can be added as a podcast easily, like The Magnus Archives, Wolf 359, etc; and some can't be added with the podcast search and need to be added as books, like the GraphicAudio productions, Big Finish productions, and so on.

This is not going to be supported because it would require a major rewrite of the server & data model. We would also need to redesign the frontend. Maybe there is another solution you can think of.
