### Directory Structure

Author, Series, Volume Number, Title and Publish Year can all be parsed from your folder structure.

**Note**: Files in the root directory `/audiobooks` will be ignored, all audiobooks should be in a directory

**1 Folder:** `/Title/...`\
**2 Folders:** `/Author/Title/...`\
**3 Folders:** `/Author/Series/Title/...`

\
**Parsing publish year**

`/1984 - Hackers/...`\
Will save the publish year as `1984` and the title as `Hackers`

\
**Parsing volume number** (only if there is a series folder)

`/Book 3 - Hackers/...`\
Will save the volume number as `3` and the title as `Hackers`

`Book` `Volume` `Vol` `Vol.` are all supported case insensitive

These combinations will also work:\
`/Hackers - Vol. 3/...`\
`/1984 - Volume 3 - Hackers/...`\
`/1984 - Hackers Book 3/...`

\
**Parsing book subtitles** (optional in settings)

Title Folder: `/Hackers - Heroes of the Computer Revolution/...`

Will save the title as `Hackers` and the subtitle as `Heroes of the Computer Revolution`

\
**Full example**

`/Steven Levy/The Hacker Series/1984 - Hackers - Heroes of the Computer Revolution - Vol. 1/...`

Becomes:\

| Author        | Steven Levy                       |
|---------------|-----------------------------------|
| Series        | The Hacker Series                 |
| Publish Year  | 1984                              |
| Title         | Hackers                           |
| Subtitle      | Heroes of the Computer Revolution |
| Volume Number | 1                                 |
