FEW BUGS NEED FIX

• There is issue when Playlist more then 100+ it thows error to provent downloading
• theres small bug when download gets stuck as _temp.mp3 file is not deleted to convert normal file
• tweek it call out little less on API so be more smaller request not flood any APIS / Websites
• Clean up stuff dont need.
• Add my own custom backend API for predownload files if want get corrent files other then redownload back on your own API so means my custom server cache download make easyer download for you for less time.
• need look into code more see what else to add in and fixing
