I am running the latest release of JRiver19 - 19.0.162 and the latest versions of JRemote on my iPhone5 and iPad3 mini. Whenever the '&" is used in an album name, it shows up as '&' (no quotes). So Eric Bibb's album 'Spirit & The Blues' shows up in the album list, or the Artist list as 'Spirit & The Blues'. I have closed the app, power cycled my 'i' devices and the computer. It shows up fine in JRiver on the PC.
Also, when I list all my songs my 'Name' on the I devices, a song like Queen's '39 shows up as '39. Same with every other song with the quote as the first character.
I have a song named "Dooji Wooji" (with the double quotes) and it shows up as "Dooji Wooji"
The pound # symbol seems to be OK - just looks like the single and double quotes are screwed up.
