iTunes Windows 11 Audiobooks view shows many duplicates of my audiobooks

I imported three CDs to iTunes as audiobooks. I see all three in my audiobook Library, but they are duplicated dozens of times. There seem to be nearly as many repeating tile icons for each audiobook as there are chapters within it. How can I get rid of the duplicate tiles without deleting the underlying audiobook from my Library?

Can't change media kind in Music I can't change media kind in Music. I am running Monterey 12.6.1. I have audiobooks that got set as music, and I want to change them back to audiobooks. I also tried dragging them from Music to Books, but it did not work. Any ideas?

How can I stop the Books App from making another copy of my audiobooks into its library? After many years of using an old 2009 iMac, I recently moved to a newer model running Ventura. I have a bunch of audiobooks I purchased over the years which I had added to my old Mac in m4b format. I just imported all my audiobooks to Books and suddenly I lost 100GB of space in my disk. As it turns out, Books made a copy of every single file into its own library. These are the exact same files! No changes made, just copied them instead of using the original location for the same file. How can I stop this behaviour? In Music App there is a setting to stop Music copying songs to Music library. I do not see this option in Books. Anybody has a trick? I am running out of space on my 1TB disk because MAC OS wants to have two copies of every file :-(.

Missing Audiobook I have just two audiobooks and they appear in the Books apps on my Mac, iPad and iPhone, except that I've now lost one of the books from the Mac and I can't find a way to reinstate it. If I search for the title, the only results come with a price for me to buy that title again. The missing audio book still appears on my iPad and my iPhone. How do I get it back on my Mac?
