dBpowerAMP Music Converter 16.6

Added shortcut to tag editor, if edit tags for multi files then ALT + N is same as click '>' button (next file), and ALT + B is the same as '<' (previous file).
Updated m4a decoder to latest fdk v2.
Drops 'encoding tool' tag on converting.
Album art - retrieve from Internet updated for compatibility.
Music Converter, if select [Delete Selected Profile] from encoder menu, asks if should delete.
Bug Fix: Explorer >> convert to: loads converter, then do another Convert To would spawn a 2nd Music Converter, instead of adding the files to existing open one.

Music Converter and edit id tags appear on same desktop as invoking Windows file explorer, or Batch Converter.
Added tool tips to Music Converter output to folder selection.
CD Ripper - tests for Windows Defender 'Controlled folder access' and auto sets CD Ripper to 'Windows Built-in' communication method.
Batch Converter optimized metadata reading thread.
Batch Converter: if drag a column it shows correctly in the list view.
Using FLAC 1.3.3 beta.
Using latest FDK decoder 0.1.6.
Control Center has large help button.
CD Ripper - dialog boxes will appear on same screen as main app.
Edit Tag page - text box and lines resize with the control.
Batch Converter - File List page shows on same screen as main app.
Batch Converter - remembers position if dragged.
Option (off by default) to map mp3 id2v3 style to TIT1, when mapped iTunes uses this rather than title on iPhones to organize the tracks.

Bug Fixes
Multi-encoder can have [origdrive].
m4a fdk aac the bit rate CBR label was overwritten by VBR.
m4a was showing Audio Quality: Low (lossy) for all files.
Certain tagging of m4a files would fail.
Playlist writer where writing to ._ tmp files, it was passing track 1 filename for all tracks on CD in BatchEnd.
Multi-encoder now uses ID Processing DSP for filenames.
