[Bug Report]

Problem

Windows automatically removes any periods at the end of files and folders. So trying to download this song Song for... in the album Song for... ends up failing if you have it set to create the folder for the album.

If you only download the song to an artist folder it will download it as Song for.flac but when you want it to create the album, it creates the folder Song for and then gives an error on download that it failed to create the file because the directory doesn't exist since its looking for the folder Song for... which is impossible on windows systems.
