How can I rename a file containing "&" in its name in kubuntu using Dolphin or terminal?

I have many mp3 files in my external ubuntu hdd (ext4 file system), but some files contains a "&" in their name, then Dolphin can't rename those files, and I can't move these files anywhere else too. I think it's due to the "&" in their names.

Does anyone know how to fix that please?

What is KRename ?

KRename is a powerful batch renamer for KDE. It allows you to easily
rename hundreds or even more files in one go. The filenames can be
created by parts of the original filename, numbering the files or
accessing hundreds of informations about the file, like creation date
or Exif informations of an image.

Ubuntu packages: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=krename&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

Dolphin - Right click the files > Actions > Rename with KRename

KRename has 'Find and Replace'...
