I have some files in my Archos mp3 player that I'd like to delete but I can't see them on my Mac. The files begin with a period, as seen on my mp3 player. My guess is they were created by a playlist conversion script. Is there any way to see these files on my mac so that I can delete them?

You can view them in Terminal
ls -a
I believe with Tinkertool you can turn on visible files in Finder also.

Open terminal and type what the guy above you said to type and then hit return. After that, all files should be visible in the finder.

I would suggest you try if Tinkertool can turn showing invisible files on in the Finder then.
In the Terminal you would need to
cd
change directory. If the player is mounted as a regular volume you can do
cd /Volumes
then
ls
list files of current directory. Then change into the player volume with the cd command
cd PlayerVolume
and into the directory the file is in.
Then you do
ls -a
to list all files including the invisible ones.
Finally
rm filename
remove the file with the rm command. For example
rm .hidden.mp3

As Developer mentioned, TinkerTool is the easiest tool for the job.
Thought I'd link it up,

Or you can use this Much simpler than any of the above, but less educational .

Or, instead of linking to crappy VersionTracker, where you have to click through annoying advertisements to get to the developer site, you can take the extra step and actually link to the real site.

In Jaguar (and maybe all OS X 10.x) you can go Find... in the finder (command-F), and add criteria to look for files with 'visibility off'. I reckon this would do it.
