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.
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
