sed is not really suitable for decoding an encoded URL string.

Scripting languages such as Perl, Python and Ruby have modules for encoding and decoding URLs.

For example
Code:
!/usr/bin/perl

use URI::Escape;

my $string = "/Users/imac1/Music/iTunes/iTunes%20Media/Music/The%20Rolling%20Stones/Forty%20Licks%20%5BDisc%202%5D/2-13%20Keys%20To%20Your%20Love.mp3";
my $decode = uri_unescape($string);

print "Original string: $string\n";
print "Decoded  string: $decode\n";

Code:
$ ./demo.pl
Original string: /Users/imac1/Music/iTunes/iTunes%20Media/Music/The%20Rolling%20Stones/Forty%20Licks%20%5BDisc%202%5D/2-13%20Keys%20To%20Your%20Love.mp3
Decoded string: /Users/imac1/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/The Rolling Stones/Forty Licks [Disc 2]/2-13 Keys To Your Love.mp3
