By default, /storage/elfstorage/audiobooks is the intended location for audiobooks (note this is separate from /storage/elfstorage/books intentionally)

Integrating with Readarr
While Readarr is able to search for and download both ebooks and audio books, having both formats in one target folder (/storage/elfhosted/books) causes import errors due to Calibre integration, and results in a messy Audiobookshelf library.
A cleaner solution is to install our Readarr (Audio) app, which is simply another instance of Readarr, intended to be dedicated to audio books. Readarr (Audio) is pre-configured with the "Spoken" profile, and /storage/elfstorage/audiobooks as root media folder.
You can now manually add desired audiobooks to Readarr (Audio), or configure a list import to automatically sync your regular Readarr library, so that you effectively end up with 2 Readarr instances, one searching for ebooks, and the other searching for audio books.
