IOW can I get away with just the 0 fid music files and the /var/??? files and nothing else?


No. When deciding whether to rebuild the database, the player scans the fids directories to see if the numbers tally. If they don't (and with your scheme, they won't), it'll force a database rebuild -- which won't work, because the files are missing.

So, in short, just put them there anyway -- they're minute when compared to the MP3 data, so don't worry about it.
