I am seeing old posts about track number limits. Is this “old news”? I have indexed more than 350,000 tracks. Am I missing something? I see info about 60,000 & 100,000 & 200,000 track limits. What is the CURRENT number of the limit? I get it is approximated due to art size issues, but it would be nice to understand the current situation.

  What actually happens if you exceed the limit?

  The figure is 200,000 and you get the odd post where users like yourself have exceeded this with good metadata practices. BluOS will stop indexing when it’s had enough and give you a warning message.

  There is no "official" limit, and Blusound players will keep on indexing without any error messages.....until running out of memory.

  With tags stripped to a minimum, resize artwork enabled, short file paths and short file names you can index close to 400,000 without issues until your player will start to behave erratic and slow.
