The IDE is only needed for developing firmware and uploading it to the Arduino.

Where the Demo does require a Serial Port interface to interact with the Arduino. The IDE’s built in Serial Monitor can do this. Or any other Serial Terminal Emulator. Such as HyperTerm or Putty, etc…

Where MP3ButtonPlayer2.ino does not require Serial interface, as IO pins trigger the player.
