## 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 for series)
`/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 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:**
| Key | Value |
|---------------|-----------------------------------|
| Author | Steven Levy |
| Series | The Hacker Series |
| Publish Year | 1984 |
| Title | Hackers |
| Subtitle | Heroes of the Computer Revolution |
| Volume Number | 1 |
## Features coming soon
