Not for me, never had a problem with that and I have several albums starting with dots ... including that Genesis album.

I also can't think of a reason why that would an issue? What happens if you drag them to Playing Now? Do they play at all?

Can you elaborate please?

How does that turn up, in a popup or something else? Is that the only info displayed?

Do the files play in other applications? It sounds like the files are corrupt. What kind of files are they?

Try deleting the Desktop.ini file inside the folder.  You may have to show Windows hidden and system files.  Then try your import / play.

Weird. Because that doesn't even move the files, its just a change in the allocation table for these files.

I would run some checks on that volume. You can do that from the command line with the command "chkdsk d:", change d: to the drive in question. This will just check, not fix anything.
