Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, when downloading lyrics, users are unable to convert between Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. This can be inconvenient for users who prefer to read lyrics in a specific script, or for those who download lyrics that are in a script they are less familiar with.

Describe the solution you'd like.
I would like to request a new feature that allows users to select a Simplified/Traditional Chinese conversion option when downloading lyrics. Similar to the attached screenshot, this feature should provide the following choices:

No conversion: Lyrics are downloaded in their original script.

Traditional to Simplified: Convert Traditional Chinese lyrics to Simplified Chinese.

Simplified to Traditional: Convert Simplified Chinese lyrics to Traditional Chinese.

This option should be accessible within the lyric download settings, allowing users to pre-configure their preference or choose on a per-download basis if feasible.

Describe alternatives you've considered.
Currently, users would have to manually convert the lyrics after downloading them, which is a cumbersome and time-consuming process.

Additional context (Optional):
This feature would greatly enhance the user experience for Chinese-speaking users, providing more flexibility and convenience in managing their lyric preferences.
