way is to use the 'rename' command:

    find . -type f -name '*!*.mp3' -exec rename '!'  ''  {} \;

Slightly better:

find . -type f -name '*!*.mp3' -print0 |xargs -0 rename '!'  ''

This will work even for filenames with spaces in them (quite common with
music files).

As will the command I suggested.  Arguments to commands invoked by
"-exec" are passed WITHOUT being parsed by a shell.
