Unable to pass URL with a '&' as an audio location

[ghost]

Hi, I'm trying to use TarsosTranscoder to transcode flac files from a subsonic media server to a custom music program of mine. transcoding works fine with local files, but trying to use a URL with multiple arguments (for instance, "https://(some subsonic server)/rest/stream?u=(user variable)&s=(password salt)&t=(token)&v=1.15.0&f=xml&format=mp3&id=(song id)") does not seem to work. in the decoder_log.txt file, TarsosTranscoder seems to correctly pass the URL up until the first '&' of the URL. the '&' seems to be making the command line run commands 's', 't', 'v', 'f', 'format', etc. instead of keeping the URL as one argument for ffmpeg. Any help is appreciated!
