Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Googolplexed0/zotify/issues/2

Spotify must've changed their API or something, it no longer correctly decodes quotes, periods, and some other things in song and album names. Instead it puts "_"

Example Songs:
https://open.spotify.com/track/3qrH2YFnbEiQeUe4wzgOuP
https://open.spotify.com/track/72jCZdH0Lhg93z6Z4hBjgj
https://open.spotify.com/track/5ZkAx8zjLiSs1nMmBwJoZS

@Googolplexed0 commented on GitHub (Feb 22, 2025):

File tags are being properly formatted for these tracks (as far as I have tested). I'm still seeing quotes, question marks, slashes, and periods in the song titles and album names. If you are referring to the underscores in the file names instead, these characters require removal from file names to ensure paths are valid across all operating systems (this has always been the case and cannot be altered).
