My MP3s all have this "._" (period underscore) dup file that only shows up when put them into another device like my car. It drives me nuts because the system will try to play it. It will even take up space for tracks on systems that only allow a limited number of tracks.

I am on mac os el capitan (i know it's old!) so this trick doesn't work! Any idea how to see the hidden file? What other way?
