Question: I have a couple of audiobooks that I ripped from CDs to MP3 files legally. After adding the metadata, I imported to Apple Books on my Mac running Catalina, hoping it would sync to my iPhone and iPad. iCloud is turned on for all devices, and Apple Books is set to sync everything. It...

Sensei: A Beautifully-Designed Dashboard and Set of Utilities for Your Mac
