I ripped a new book from CD into Music AFTER the Catalina upgrade/transfer of audiobooks to Books and can not figure out how to get the newly ripped book from Music to Books All of the books I had when I upgraded to Catalina have been transferred to books. Since upgrading to Catalina I've been having quite a few challenges with my audiobooks. Perhaps Apple's developers will realize the mistake they made and give us back the ability to edit metadata from within the Books app but until then, this works. But it's the only work around I've been able to find. The updated metadata information should now appear. Once you've updated the metadata, import the file into Books. Simply give the file a new filename and the metadata window will open as part of the export process. You can also OPEN or IMPORT the file then EXPORT it without using the edit metadata feature. If exporting to the same location, you'll either need to overwrite the existing file or give the file a new name. Then EXPORT your file in whatever format available to you. Once it's opened, go to the Edit menu and select Metadata. So, what to do? Download Audacity - it's open source and free. At least, if Apple has added the feature back I haven't found it. Since macOS Catalina apparently, you can no longer edit the metadata in the Books app for audiobooks you (or someone you know and love like significant others) create. I tried to answer this in the other thread but the reply button was greyed out so most likely the discussion was too old.
