Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I hope downloading audiobooks doesn't mean downloading the entire album, but selectively downloading multiple or single files.

Why would this be helpful?

Sometimes, due to server issues or insufficient phone storage, it may not be possible to download an entire audiobook album. The ability to download and listen to audiobooks in separate batches would be a welcome feature. Thank you!

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

If necessary, I will take screenshots. Thanks to the development team.

Audiobookshelf App Version

iOS App - 0.9.76

It depends on what you mean by "album". The ABS app downloads the entire book from the server, not individual files.

You can also download an entire series of books, but you don't have to download an entire series at a time.

Understood, thank you for the explanation

I'm not sure if this request is a misunderstanding or if this request is for multi-track audiobooks? Can you elaborate on what you would like see implemented?

I'm not sure if this request is a misunderstanding or if this request is for multi-track audiobooks? Can you elaborate on what you would like to see implemented?

For example, if a book has 70 chapters, according to the current logic, I will download all 70 chapters of the entire book after clicking download. However, I hope that I can choose to download only a few chapters instead of downloading all of them at once. This can also reduce the pressure on the server and the storage pressure on the device. I hope the developers can develop this feature, thank you!
