Good question! I don't have a perfect solution for this,
because what you really probably want is to be able to `git annex copy`
files to the music player and have only the present files show up in
its repository.
One approach is to use a [[directory_special_remote|special_remotes/directory]]
on the music player. This way, only present files will show up there,
but they'll have git-annex's internal filenames. If the music player
doesn't care about filenames, this can work ok.
Another approach is to use a v6 git-annex repository
on the media player, and use [[git-annex-adjust]] to generate
a version of a branch where all files that are present are unlocked
(and thus regular files with the expected filenames). Files
that are not present will still show up in the working tree though,
either as symlinks or as the small text files git uses when a filesystem
does not support symlinks. So this is much like direct mode, but it has
the benefit that you can use all the normal git branching features
to create a trimmed down branch for the media player with just the files
you want.
