 I've copied one of my MP3s into foo&bar.mp3, deleted all ID3 tags, and
 added new ID3v2 tags so that the end result is:
bee% id3v2 -l foo\&bar.mp3 
id3v2 tag info for foo&bar.mp3:
TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): foo&bar
TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): foo&bar
TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): foo&bar

 I could add the sond to the library, but *not* add them to a playlist
 (this even caused a crash in one of my tests), however I tried a CVS
 build from end of february, and it didn't have this bug, so it has
 probably been fixed upstream meanwhile.

   Cheers,
