How to edit audiobook metadata in Books?

After upgrading to Catalina my audio books are a shamble. My whole collection of audiobooks have moved to the iTunes replacing 'Books' app. In the process many have been pulled apart into their separate chapters and I can't get Books to recognise them as belonging to the one audio book.

How can I edit the metadata of audio books (that were not purchased in the Apple audio book store) so that all these separate chapters are recognized and played as one book?

This question has never been answered with the upgrade to Monterey, still the same problem.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 12.0

Hi in site out,

We see you have a question regarding the metadata for your audiobooks. At this time the metadata for audiobooks can't be changed manually. If this is something you'd like to see implemented in the future we'd recommend providing feedback here: Product Feedback

Take care.

Have made the request through product feedback, again. This problem has not been addressed since Catalina.

I do hope more people register this problem so something will be done about it.

Have solved the problem for myself, makeshift and unhappily, by using another computer, operating system and listening device to access my collection of audio books.

Kind Regards

Peter
