Hello, composers and arrangers!  here is a question that relates to a simple curiosity from me: A few minutes ago, I was suddenly scared when I saw that all my songs, all of them, no longer had their usual name: Each title did begin with ._ For example, "Afternoon in Paris" appeared as "._Afternoon in Paris"... And it was impossible to listen to the tunes, each and every one of them being empty with the exception of the default C chord, appearing in the beginning of each tune in Biab, and nothing more! Oh boy, That was scary!!! Fortunately, slightly after, I found the real files at the end of the list, and I could hear them again! What a relief, they are still there! Now, it stays true that this is the first time I see something like that. It never happd before... So the question is: What is the meaning of this??? What did cause that? Honestly, this is not a real problem since I saw that the tunes are still in my folder, but I really would like to understand! friendly ._Alceste

Presumably you are running Mac, no? ._ files are created automatically by Mac OS X and contain metadata related to the accompanying file that was placed there by programs in the Mac. Have a look at this article which may be helpful to understand.

Hello AudioTrack!
well seen! Even if I'm running a PC, it stays true that I use a simple USB-key to bring my songs
from the Mac I was running before, that's why it happens!
Since I'm on a PC, I think I can now simply remove these "._" files!
Thank you for for enlightening me on this point! That was a panic! :-D
Have a nice day!
Friendly
