Hello,

Since upgrading to Catalina I've been having quite a few challenges with my audiobooks. All of the books I had when I upgraded to Catalina have been transferred to books. Here are my challenges:
  • 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
  • Some of the books/MP3s I've added to books since the upgrade to Catalina do not have the 'author' filled out (I bought the MP3 and apparently that wasn't included). I absolutely can not figure out how to add this information, so now I have many books with 'unknown' as the author
  • I ripped a book from CD into Music AFTER the Catalina upgrade/transfer of audiobooks to Books and when I sync to my iPhone half of the tracks show up in Music and the other half are in Books
Any help with these challenges would be greatly appreciated.

I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) and an iPhone 8.

Thank you in advance,

Margie

2) Same as above.
