Now that in Catalina iTunes was split into Music, TV, Podcasts and Books, how do I change the media kind of an MP3, which will automatically open in Music, from “music” to “audio book?” What looks like a pull-down menu only has one option on it: “music.”

Note that the Books app has no features for editing metadata, so do this in Music first when you want to add new audiobooks.

Not the most elegant solution…
I’d like to see a pull-down that automatically moves the item from the Music database to the Books database. Then Books should have one that would, in fact, allow editing metadata with its own pull-down to allow me to transfer a track back.
I just got off the phone with an Apple rep (10/9/19 @2127hrs ET), and they didn't have an answer for me. They suggested waiting for another update, that should be coming...soon.
Agreed. But then you might as well have one monolithic app designed to handle all kinds of media in one place. 😉
