Describe the feature/enhancement

Most audiobooks available out there have inconsistent at best metadata - often has release group as "contributing artist", or author as "album" etc..

However folder structure is generally respected - you can count on files to be organized in CDs, with tracks running top to bottom alphabetically, and the "Author > Series > Title" folder structure respected.

For that reason it seems it would be a far better basis for importing than the ID3 metadata.

This requested enhancement is for an option in settings to "prefer folder structure". This would align Readarr's scanning/processing with audiobookshelf (a common destination for books after Readarr).

Of note, ABS generally handles importing a lot better - but still provides options:
