    Audio Book Naming

    The recommended folder structure for audio books is Author\Book Name\Chapter

     \AudioBooks
        \Author
           \Book Name
              1- Chapter 1.mp3
              2- Chapter 2.mp3
    

    This is not a requirement and other structures will also work, but this is the most common method. Some other examples of supported structures are Book Name\Chapter:

     \AudioBooks
        \Book Name
           1- Chapter 1.mp3
           2- Chapter 2.mp3
    

    Or even a flat library of chapter files:

     \AudioBooks
         1- Book Name - Chapter 1.mp3
         2- Book Name - Chapter 2.mp3
    

    Track/Chapter numbers are retrieved using embedded ID3 tag information if present.

    Multi-Disc Audio Books

    You can store you media in the following format for convenience but Emby will not pick up the "disk #". In order to use this folder structure you will need to use an external tag editor such as MP3Tag. Using MP3Tag you would highlight all files in each folder and assign a single tag for the disc # and save. Emby will then read the tag and show as well as sort your audio chapters by disc.

     \AudioBooks
        \Author
           \Book Name
             \Disc 1
                1- Chapter 1.mp3
                2- Chapter 2.mp3
             \Disc 2
                1- Chapter 1.mp3
                2- Chapter 2.mp3
    

    Audio Book Images

    Images are supported in both artist and album folders, as well as images embedded within audio files. Below is a table of the supported image file names:

    Supported image extensions are jpg, jpeg, png and tbn.

    Several image types support multiple file names. They are listed in the order that they're checked for.
