 * OK, So I have a nice script set up that outputs what’s playing in iTunes to a
   templated PHP page. And just for kicks, I made it so each Artist – Song Title
   links to allmusic.com’s search page.
    Problem: AM.com doesn’t use %20, they use
   |. for example: [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?P=amg&opt1=1&sql=The%20Decemberists](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?P=amg&opt1=1&sql=The%20Decemberists)
   [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?P=amg&opt1=1&sql=The|Decemberists](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?P=amg&opt1=1&sql=The|Decemberists)
   So my question: How do i set the PHP script to output spaces as | instead of %
   20 ?
