Audio-books-cjk

**Note: I have not sourced volume 3 of this series yet, which has been released since 2026-06-09.** I have been reworking my whole audiobook library and this is one of the reworked series, I plan to do a full batch once it is ready, fully redone metadata and all. - These audiobooks are set with **over** 22 metadata tags for various applications. - The audible intro and outro brandings are trimmed, and chapters are all retimed to start ~250ms before any speech to give some breathing (buffering) room. - The covers are all processed (denoised and saved as q90 jpeg) from the highest possible quality source; RBmedia > Apple Books (non PNG) > Audible.  ---- 1. Why the root folder **audio-books-cjk**? - This is my root folder for AudioBookShelf for CJK related audiobooks and will also be used for the full ABS rework batch I am working on so you can help seeding or easily build your own ABS library! 2. What is with the folder structure? - This is an AudioBookShelf compatible folder structure if one would not rely on embedded metadata, ready for a direct drop in! 3. Why are some series that have a subtitles cut short on the audiobook folder? - This is to keep folder paths shorter, and to avoid confusion when you have enabled 'Parse subtitles' in AudioBookShelf as some books *will* have individual subtitles set on the folder! 4. What is with the added metadata files? - They are used to supplement the embedded audiobook metadata for AudioBookShelf (json and/or opf) or Calibre (opf). 5. Why replace PZG or Troglodyte audiobooks? - There is no real difference other than me knowing the ripping method and source (ASIN) used for accurate chapter retiming **and** Audible brand trimming! - I *do* use PZG's set chapter titles in some instances where external sources do not have them, so I want to acknowledge them for their previous tremendous work on those! 6. I have issues with some of the long paths on Windows - Try enabling long paths in Windows, if you do not know how, just ask Google AI. - An alternative is to rename the *book folder* to something shorter, like; `01 - Volume 1 - subtitle {narrator}` or `Volume 01 - subtitle {narrator}` 7. I do not like the folder structure, I just want to have all audiobooks of a series in a single folder! - Well, can't make everyone happy, but this is relatively easy to script as the folder structure is consistent, the other way around not so much!
