Thanks for the answer. I am not too experienced with writing plugins, so
could you please help me out how you implemented this? Is there some
code I could (re)use?

For now I have generated wav files using pico2wave and put them as first
files into the folders which is ok but requires some work if want to do
it for a bigger collection. So I'd like to automate that.

In my case there's no problem with that because I have audio books in
one language only (german).
