Improved multi-item iPod and Zune operations by keeping one device session open for the full action instead of repeatedly reopening the device.

Fixed imports that could finish without cataloging files already present at the selected destination.
Fixed library file resolution on Macs sharing the same BakBeat library so each Mac uses its own assigned media folders instead of paths stored by another computer.
Improved large imports by committing the completed catalog pass in one BakBeatLibrary.bbl save.
Fixed Add to Device success messages so they report the number of tracks actually added rather than total catalog counts.
Fixed podcast sync controls appearing for devices that do not support podcasts.
