OK, here's a wild thought.

If the 1 files and the 0 playlist files (i.e. all fids except the mp3 files) are only used to build the /var/??? files and I will create those from my own data anyway, are they really needed? IOW can I get away with just the 0 fid music files and the /var/??? files and nothing else?

Seems that the player doesn't actually use anything else so why create them and have to sync them? This would really simplify the maintenance scripts and also save space on the empeg which is always to be desired.

Please tell me I'm right.
