Content Detail

The "ContentDetail" element is used in metadata to provide information about the content items in an audiobook, including any chapter or scene titles. This is important for organizing and categorizing the content as well as for helping listeners find the parts they are looking for.

1. The ContentDetail block consists of multiple ContentItem elements, with each element representing a part of the table of contents.
2. Each ContentItem element has a LevelSequenceNumber, which indicates the hierarchical position of the corresponding part in the table of contents (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.). 
3. Within the ContentItem element, there is the AVItem element, which contains an AVItemType with a value of "03".
