Hi,

I don't get any results, but just an error message, if the album name that I want to look up in Musicbrainz contains special characters (exclamation marks, in my case).

I guess the API doesn't support these characters which is why they should be removed or converted.

Thanks for reporting! This is now fixed with [Mp3tag v2.87b](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455).
