Note: This guide targets and has been tested on Windows systems. While focused on Plex, if you follow the tagging and file processing steps you will also be compatible with Booksonic and AudiobookShelf servers. Everything is customizable, and easy to change. This guide is meant to serve as a framework for fully utilizing metadata. I'll be doing a deep dive into some advanced features of the tools available to us in order to get a nice, clean, and functional UI.
