Audiobookshelf media sorter (lemmy.world)

So thanks to this community, I have found the wonders of Audiobookshelf! Seems very promosing so far, but my main gripe is with my folder structure. I am therefore wondering if there is any media sorter tools out there? I'm thinking something along the lines of https://github.com/jpillora/media-sort (for plex) that I can use to sort the files into a supported folder structure for ABS, but even better would be if it also had a metadata agent that created an .obf file with common information.

If anyone has any tips it would be greatly appreciated, even if it's some script that someone uses for own personal use that they wouldn't mind sharing, I'm not closed to doing some coding work myself in order to get this right.

I sirt it manually. I just rip a CD, edit its metadata with MusicBrainz Picard then place all the MP3's in a folder for just the book and then move it to the folder of the author.

Once scanned by audiobookshelf I modify the metadata a bit more and then let audiobookshelf combine the book to one file.

Yeah, for I'm sorting manually as well, but it would be nice to just drop files in a folder and then forget about it.
