Error exporting my library about googlemusic-xbmc

[LawnGnome]

Did some experimenting. I can turn one of these into a PR if you want.

Basically, GoogleMusicActions._sanitizePath should return either a properly encoded UTF-8 string (which works great for me on Android, but might fail miserably on Windows — I don't really know anything about how Python and Windows interact on that front) or the lowest common denominator ASCII string. Both options are below.

UTF-8 version

def _sanitizePath(self, name):
    name = "".join(i for i in name if i not in "\/:*?<>|,;$%\"\'.`")
    if len(name) > 50: name = name[:50]
    return name.decode("utf8", "ignore").encode("utf8").strip()

As I said, this works really nicely on Android (and should be fine on Linux), but I don't know how portable this will be.

ASCII version

def _sanitizePath(self, name):
    name = "".join(i for i in name if i not in "\/:*?<>|,;$%\"\'.`")
    if len(name) > 50: name = name[:50]
    return name.decode("utf8", "ignore").encode("ascii", "backslashreplace").replace("\\x", "_x").replace("\\u", "_u").strip()

This results in ugly file names (for instance, Sigur Rós becomes Sigur R_xf3s) but should work everywhere.

Thank you, I'll add your fix for the next version.
