Not sure when this happened but there is an issue with the rename options in handheld sync.  I have at least one album that start with '...' and that has always been problematic when syncing to hand helds.  For handheld sync, under Options > Files Paths & More > Audio Path, I have the expression 'REPLACE([Artist]\[Album],...,_)\'.  In the past this has replaced "..." with "_".  Now it is replacing "..." with "_.." instead.  If I plug 'REPLACE([Artist]\[Album],...,_)\' into the expression editor it does return "_" properly so it is only happening as part of the hand held sync options.

I just did a full wipe/resync of the hand held this week and got this:

More info:  The replace function in Sync is only doing this if the '...' is at the front of the string.  I found two albums that have this and both are doing the same thing ...Album becomes _..Album.  The album 'To Be Continued... [Box Set]' is correctly changed to 'To Be Continued_ [Box Set]'.  'Exit...Stage Left' also correctly becomes 'Exit_Stage Left'.

Finally figured it out.  The 'new normal' is for a . at the start of a path item to be replaced with _.  So to replace ... with _ I need to now replace both ... to _ and _.. to _.
