We'll use this ticket for the investigations into the link rewriting issues.

Dynamic Urls such as http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=2790003&q=hi are split after the "?" and "&" symbols so you get: {{{ <a href='http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=' 2790003&q='hi'>my link text</a>}}}

in IE and:

<a href="http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=" 2790003&q="hi">my link text</a> in Mozilla Firefox
