Description Alan Braslau 2011-01-02 08:17:07 UTC

The playlist is currently limited to 100 tracks.
Whereas it may be reasonable to apply some limit to the internal playlist, 100 tracks is, in practice, a too short.
For example, I have an album containing 104 tracks; another has 201 tracks; still another has 271 tracks. This situation is not uncommon with classical music.

(Of course, these albums cannot fit on a single CD, and they represent a certain number of vinyl disks. But the point of a digital player is go beyond the limitations of older listening formats.)

Other than running a server on an external computer, one can not presently play these albums in their entirety.

Thank you

Alan

P.S. By the way, I am very impressed with the Touch device.

Yep classic music has >100 tracks in some box sets .

Note that afaik just open up the limit won't help as SBS has performance problem handling playlists for squeezeplay devices, so the root cause for sbs problems with large playlists must be found .
