Manual audiobook editor #1042

It has been six years since I started using cozy on a pinephone after having used the mostly manual Panucci app on the old maemo linux Nokia N900 since maybe 2011, and a totally manual player on the Linux Sharp Zaurus SL-5500.
One major advantage especially for us who often reformat, use very old files, or even self build an audiobook from several sources would be the option to activate a manual playlist editor in the settings as well as the ability to make new audiobook entries and hand build the playlist for these. Even a m3u helper as part of the app would help.

This issue is because:
1-DIY mp3s dumped into an audiobook dir will often be packed together automatically with no way to sort them
2- other times several audiobooks in separate directories will stack with 3x chapter 1, 3x chapter 2, etc where it needs to be manually separated into three separate audiobooks, alternatively if there were a way to separate by directory, anything to give us manual control.

Right now for #2 I have several volumes of audiobook and I have to keep all but the active book outside my audiobooks file active on cozy.
I also have a script that copies the cozy.db to cozy.db.old and deletes the cozy.db; maybe a reset button or have a delete from db button along with the manual contorl playlist options I mention above.
