[Helix-client-dev] problems with tracks beginning with '$'

The '$' is a reserved char in URLs. It must be escaped before passing it
onto the player engine. Same with spaces. The proper encoding for your
clip below is:

    %241000%20Dollar%20Wedding.mp3

see http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm for more
information.
