Fixes multi AlbumArtist issue
Able to read Ogg-FLAC streams

Release 13

Ensemble recognized as Album Artist
Option to write Ensemble instead of Albumartist
Preserves '01' etc for Track Number (previously would have set '1')
Better detection of other Jpeg embedded images

Release 12

Mapping 'Album Artist' to 'AlbumArtist' as seems to be mainly used (can disable this in Tagging Options)

FLAC encoder can sense the expected ID Tag size and automatically sets padding (saves whole flac file being rewritten at end)

Added new Padding sizes (64KB 128 KB 256KB 512KB)
Added storage of CDTOC in new CDTOC vorbis comment (see forum.dbpoweramp.com >> Developer for details)

Bug Fix: when removing 2nd album art it would not remove it
