Download is failing when there is space at the end of the playlist name, as Windows automatically deletes the space in the name at the end of a folder automatically.

It shows folder directory with space at

...\daniel caesar, etc. \...

When it should've been

...\daniel caesar, etc.\...

Well, I have found the root cause of this ISsue and approached a solution too that will fix the ISSUE everywhere.

Based on my analysis
The problem is at sanitizePath function inside the utills.ts file . This fn only removes invalid characters from folder names, but it does not trim trailing spaces from the path.

@afkarxyz A single line of change can fix it. Although I'm raising a PR regarding the fixes Let me know should i make contribute in this repo via this change or You alone can fix it your next update ...!

sanitizePath This function is called in multiple places throughout the codebase (in useDownload.ts, useLyrics.ts, and useCover.ts) when building the output directory path for playlist downloads, so I think fixing it in utils.ts will resolve the issue everywhere.
