[Enhancement]: M4B conversion queuing #1936

Describe the feature/enhancement

Hey. I'd love to see the option to queue M4B conversions having them run one or two at a time, rather than as many as start the progress on. That way it would be a benefit as it would use less CPU resources and you can start a lot of tasks and then walk away without having to constantly come back, check if the current tasks have finished and start new ones.

Possible workaround until the enhancementhas been adopted, or also an info for the programmer, for a possible script: With this, one could copy the desired audio books into a directory and from there each audio book is converted individually (with several threads). https://github.com/seanap/auto-m4b

To add onto this, I'd like to see an easier way to select those books for queuing. Maybe in the multi-select menu underneath the "Quick Match" "Quick Embed" functions.
