So I could keep the same file tree, but delete songs?Would that crash the playlist,or just skip the missing songs?

I think he wants to hear:

if a track in a playlist isn't present on the player it will get skipped.

But I really don't understand how a playlist could crash :o

As for the database topic: two files having the same metadata (i.e. that part of the metadata the database uses) doesn't necessarily mean it's the same file. Or even the same content. You would need a way to handle this, which isn't trivial.

evilnick:
If the directory structure on Device A is replicated on Device B and then the playlists from Device A copied to Device B, then the playlists can be played on Device B without any problems.

If you then delete files from Device B that are referenced in the playlists (that you copied from Device A) and play the playlist(s) then Rockbox will silently skip past the non-existent files.

Cool as long as I keep the folder hierarchy the same I can drag and drop my playlist files.Thanks for you help Evilnick
