Titles/albums/artists are being sanitized #78

I noticed the application sanitizes quite a few common symbols like : and even question marks in titles/albums/artists, is it possible to make this string manipulation a toggle instead of the default behavior? That would make it easier to sync last.fm data with the tracks from spotify for example, since the naming could be set up to be the same.

I believe sanitize_data is the one responsible for it in spotify.py

I've found the opposite: that it fails to sanitise symbols 🤔 For example, song 3:15 by Bazzi- this fails to download for me.

Maybe the bug is inconsistent in nature.,

Can confirm special chars in track names are causing issues
