Hi there, thanks for mp3tag!

importing an album from MusicBrainz, it seems a "|" (Vertical Line, U+007C in UTF-8) triggers a new line in the import script.

see linked screenshot: [http://imgur.com/wNWZFeZ](http://imgur.com/wNWZFeZ)

I downloaded and tested with 2.54 that showed the same behaviour as the formerly used 2.49.

can I correct that flaw myself?

thanks for your speedy and helpful reply.

that fixed it, indeed.

"replace "|" "$verticalBar()""

one more question: why didn't go this upstream?

thank you again.
