Lookup Date From Google is (slightly) broken
« on: August 05, 2021, 10:30:24 am »

Looking up the date for an artist with an ampersand in the name is not properly encoded.

Solid by Ashford & Simpson
     MC28 sends https://www.google.com/search?q=release+date+%22Ashford & Simpson%22+%22Solid%22
     It needs to send https://www.google.com/search?q=release+date+%22Ashford %26 Simpson%22+%22Solid%22

Not encoding the & results in Google seeing this search string ==> release date "Ashford

I have not tested this with ampersands in the title of the track.  This problem exists in (at least) MC27 & MC28.

Good find.

Next build:
Changed: Date lookup from Google properly escapes the information so something like "Ashford & Simpson" won't cause problems.
