I have a separate app for voice memos yet it still appears in My Music. I don't necessarily want to delete all the memos, but I don't want them mixed with my music either. Is there a way I can separate it?

Change the media type to Audiobook.
 
Change the media type to Audiobook.

I see if I right click on a voice memo and go to Get Info, then Options, I can change it to Audiobook. Is there a way to do this to all voice memos instead of each individual one?

Thanks :)

Off the top of my head I don't know.

But try this: highlight two different voice memos (CMD + left click mouse), right click select Get Info, and then see if you can alter the media type to Audiobook. If that works then use a Smart Playlist to pull out all the voice memos, e.g. you could use bit rate, file names etc then change them en masse.

If you cannot bulk change them via Get Info then use the same Smart Playlist trick to group them and see if Doug's Scripts has something you can use.
