I believe the files that you are referring to are made invisible in the unix way (putting a dot before the name). If this is the case, the only way to make them visible is to make all invisible files visible. You can do this with TinkerTool or one of several similar tools.

Alternatively, iPodDisk ( http://ipoddisk.ourbiti.com/ ) is a good way to access your iPod's music.

Moved to iPod & iTunes forum. Might also be software, but it's definitely not a hardware hack.
