Hi I ran into this issue today.

I have seen it referenced in https://github.com/afkarxyz/SpotiFLAC/issues/42 but it didn't appear to be resolved.

Some albums end in "..." for example "Kelly Clarkson - When Christmas Comes Around..." and from the previous issue "Tupac Shakur - Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z..."

As this tries to create the folder for the files to go in it fails and reverts back to "When Christmas Comes Around" or "Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z" which causes the application to fail to put them in a place that doesn't exist because it simply can't.

Here is a link to other illegal file naming info for Windows at least that may be worth adding checks for https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file

Im not sure how to fix this but I'm hoping I have provided enough information to perhaps showcase how to replicate the bug so that you may be able to work on a fix.
