This might be nitpicking a little, but for my use case, language and format show as all lowercase in the results and I prefer standard case. So I added this to both of the .inc files. Would you consider adding something like this?

```OutputTo
json_select "format_type"
If "unabridged"
    Say "Unabridged"
Else
    SayRest
EndIf

```

```OutputTo
json_select "language"
If "english"
    Say "English"
Else
    SayRest
EndIf

```

Another suggestion would be using `RegexpReplace “(^.)” “\U$1”` to capitalise the first letter of any value from `“format_type"`/`“language”.` Could be worthwhile as a setting.

Also, welcome @whatxremains😬

Not nitpicking at all, and I'd prefer a solution for arbitrary languages and formats.

Good idea! Unfortunately, `\U` is not available with the [ICU regular expression engine](https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/strings/regexp.html) used by the macOS version of Mp3tag.

I'll add a way to proper capitalize the first letter of the input with a future version of Mp3tag and will extend the script accordingly then.

I've just released [audible-api v0.6.4](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/ws-audible-via-api/64347), which now uses standard capitalization for format and language.
