Just for future note to people.. to delete a file with a space in command line you need to use an escape character (\).. so
Also.. if you press tab after typing part of a file name; if it's the only file in the directory that starts that way it will auto-complete the filename for you.. with the escape's where they are needed. So typing "my" and press tab.. will produce the above result.
Code:
rm -f my\ file.mp3

My way of deleting files like these from a file system is:
rm -i `find ._*`
remove the -i if you don't want to confirm the deletion of each file, just remember there is no 'un'rm
rm -i `find ._*`
remove the -i if you don't want to confirm the deletion of each file, just remember there is no 'un'rm

Not only for find, for a lot of other things probably..
