Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

When purchasing audiobooks, the goal is often to complete a specific series. To better keep track of the books you already own and those you still need to buy, it would be helpful to have the option to add placeholder audiobooks to a series. These placeholders could consist of a cover and matching metadata (both also editable like already possible), but would not be playable (perhaps indicated with an alpha/saturation filter on the cover or an extra icon like a little shopping cart?).

Why would this be helpful?

The feature would allow users to better manage their audiobooks (purchase planning, organization/tracking of books). Also its just more asthetic to look at the series in that way when all the books are displayed.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Saturation to black and white, added little shopping cart in the corner, also alpha set to 35% (Number in Series and Shopping cart should probably be alpha 100%) Example

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.11.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

Example2 Here two books are missing for this series. But would I also remember it in a few months without looking it up again?

This is basically the same as #963 but using the new issue template and more descriptive. The other issue already has thumbs up on it though.
