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

XML-XREAD(1)							   User Commands						      XML-XREAD(1)

NAME

       xml-xread - Parse XML documents with entity and URI resolution

SYNOPSIS

       xml-xread [options] xmlfile

DESCRIPTION

       xml-xread  is  a simple command line tool for parsing and validating XML documents.  It is not an actual XML parser, it just wraps around a
       JAXP XMLReader, adding support for catalog-based entity and URI resolution.

OPTIONS

       -c catalogfile
	      Load a particular catalog file.  May be specified multiple times.

       -v     Perform a validating parse.  This is the default.

       -w     Perform a well-formed parse, not a validating parse.

       -N     Perform a namespace-aware parse.	This is the default.

       -n     Perform a namespace-ignorant parse.

       -d debuglevel
	      Set the debug level (an integer).  Warnings are shown if the debug level is set to greater than 2.

       -E maxerrors
	      Set the maximum number of errors to display.  The default is 10.

FILES

       /etc/java/resolver/CatalogManager.properties
	      The central catalog manager configuration file used by xml-xread.
