If long .flac file has dots (.) in filename, 'cut' gives weird result.

eg.:

100% feat. Jennifer John - Just Can't Wait (Saturday) (Stonebridge Club Mix).flac -\>  
. jennifer john - just can't wait (saturday) (stonebridge club mix).flac

Thanks for fixing it 🙂

P.S. please add feature to add (1), (2), (3) etc. to filenames if the artist and title are the same to avoid errors while renaming by pattern %artist% - %title%. I use other tagging program for this only feature!
