hi,

the musicbrainz request fails if the track title contains a '!'. i guess this
also happens with other elements of the track and with other characters. 

tested track: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chop_Suey!_%28song%29

on the console i can see the request:
amarok:   [MusicBrainzFinder] Request sent:  "http://musicbrainz.org:80/ws/1/track/?type=xml&limit=10&query=dur:(211000) track:(Chop Suey!) artist:(System of a Down) release:(Toxicity)" 

the request also fails if i paste the url in the browser. 
> Search server could not complete query: Bad request

masking the '!' with a backslash works in with the url in the  browser. so i guess it will also work for amarok in the code. 
working url:
http://musicbrainz.org/ws/1/track/?type=xml&limit=10&query=dur:%28211000%29%20track:%28Chop%20Suey\!%29%20artist:%28System%20of%20a%20Down%29%20release:%28Toxicity%29

cheers,
andy

Reproducible: Always
