URL to ASCII

I am writing a small script to help me clean out my music (itunes) that has somehow doubled every song. Using the itunes.xml file, I have been able to create a simple list of all the files. The problem is itunes uses URL style formatting, ex. %20 for spaces. I used sed to convert %20 to a space only to find out every special character(!, ?, etc.) is like this. Is there a quick way to convert all URL (hexadecimal I believe) to regular ASCII? Thanks for the help.
