Author Metadata Feature Request - my workaround

[timmehtimtims]

I hope this is OK here... it is not an issue but a helpful workaround for the lack of author metadata. Using this method I get about 60% of my authors matched automatically.

1. I have setup my library using the audiobooks agent and followed the guide in the readme.md.
2. Run a full scan
3. I then switched metadata agents to the last.fm agent that comes pre-bundled with Plex.
4. Run 'Refresh All Metadata' and Plex then goes and finds the authors leaving the albums metadata untouched.
5. I then revert back to the audiobooks agent.

N.B. Do not click 'Upgrade Matching' as that is likely to remove existing metadata (although I haven't done it to try).

I find that last.fm does a reasonable job and matches just over half of my authors. The rest need doing manually.
It would be great if the Last.fm API can be used within this agent to avoid having to run both processes but it's possibly a complex job?
