I think that it is perfectly fine as long as Rockbox doesn't crash if
the file is missing/too short/corrupt. If the user changes the disk
contents "behind the back" of Rockbox, he can't expect it to handle it
in a "clean" way. It can resume the wrong file at the wrong point or
whatever. I'm happy if it doesn't crash.
