+22correct
Respect the Queue (2)Move (3)Beam (1) Era100 (2)ARC (1)SonosOne (1)Playbar (4)Play5 (4)Play1 (3)Play3 (1)Port (2)Connect (1) Roam (2) Ace (1)Connect:Amp (4)Sonos Amp (1)Sub + (9) Echo + Smartthings
Why is it capped at 32?
There has to be some kind of limit, and 32 controllers + 32 players = 64 total. That makes 64 place holders in an index (0-63) and 63 is the upper limit of a binary number (2^6, or 0x3F, or 111111 in binary), which would make it appear the devices and controllers are in some sort of index limited by a 2^6 sized array.
Sorry if that seems all gobbledygook, but in computer science terms, that is the reason.

jgatie is much more technically minded than I am, but has a way of explaining that makes good sense to me.
