From a reply I gave in another thread

sfv = Simple File Validation.
They give a CRC32 sumcheck (i.e. confirm the file hasn't been corrupted).
You can ignore those files as far as playback is concerned. If BT ran the checksum with no problems, it means the files are OK.

The sfv file can be deleted if you wish.
