Angry OS X—problematic hidden flac files in folder view in Winamp Pro for Android

Hello—with every flac album I browse in the Winamp Pro for Android folder view, each file has a hidden file duplicate.

i.e.

01 Sever.flac
02 Drops.flac
03 Good Worker.flac

will always have

._01 Sever.flac
._02 Drops.flac
._03 Good Worker.flac

before the actual flac files. When I try to play one of these files, I am greeted with the following error:

'Sorry, the player cannot connect to the network.'

This is a major pain when playing any flac file or album. The only solution I have found is deleting each weird dupe file one by one in folder view, which is a major annoyance. I use the word major relative to the overall experience of playing flac on my phone. This issue started a few Winamp Android updates ago, maybe 4 months back? The hidden files will not show on my Mac.

And no, not using OS X isn't a solution (as per my search results).

A simple fix to hide the files in folder view would be swell. Or better yet, full FLAC SUPPORT in Winamp Pro. Why is this not a feature yet? It's not that difficult.
