Yes, multiple folders or tags can be chosen with the present patch: It accepts a comma-separated list of substrings to look for in the file name and in the genre tag. So separating audiobooks from podcasts in two different folders is not a problem.

You disable the autoresume-on-track-change feature. But in practice, you will notice that, typically, the later chapters do not have a resume point anyway, so there will be no point in disabling that feature. sideral
