As of this writing I have seen quite a bit of improvement with the new app.  Response, volume control and grouping have been improved.  

However when using the ‘new’ app and I select one of my Amazon playlists which has an excess of 100 tracks the “queue” in the ‘new’ app will only display 100 tracks.

As a test I launched the ‘old’ app on my home PC and when I select a playlist in excess of 100 songs the ‘old’ app and the ‘new’ app show the correct number of tracks.  The playlist I selected in the ‘old’ app had 494 tracks.

It’s obviously not an Amazon issue and I was wondering if anyone else would be able to verify this as well.

Apple Music playlists display the correct number of tracks in both ‘old’ and ‘new’ app.

I no longer have Amazon Music but at least in the previous version of the new app there still were inconsistencies between Shuffle, Play Now, Play Next, Add to End of Queue and Replace Queue options.

If I remember right, Shuffle and Replace Queue only put the first 100 tracks to the queue but those other options put all tracks of a 100+ track playlist to the queue. Or some of those any way behaved differently. There might be an upper limit of at most 500 tracks of a playlist placed into the queue. 
 

Did you test if some of those options put all of the tracks into the queue? 
 

At least the new UI now makes it quick to test those :)

(On YouTube music my 125+ tracks playlist gets correctly put to the queue with all those options.)

I exclusively use amazon music and have 2 playlists in a queue, along with other individually added songs for a total queue list in excess of 500 songs. They all play, but there’s limited functionality. The playlist doesn’t show up properly in the mobile app and the ability to modify the playlist is non existent…. The web browser based controller shows the whole playlist but you can’t modify the list other than add to end of queue or shuffle/repeat… Still lots of missing finctionality.

Exactly the same issue here. 
I have all songs in one playlist (1000+) and can only load 100 into the Sonos playlist. 
that wouldn’t be such an issue if the 100 songs were the different each time I used the app, but alas, Sonos will only ever load the FIRST 100 songs. 
all this creates an extremely frustrating situation from effectively only having 100 songs in your entire library. 
Creating 30/40 separate playlists isn’t worth the time involved

 If you use the 3dot context menu an choose either Play Now or Add to End of Queue you will get a max of 500 tracks.  Touching the Play icon only gives you 100 tracks.  Of course you have to get to that context menu which seems to be a problem at times requiring a few tries (1st screenshot).

 This is a pain in the butt, but if you split your playlist into two less-than-500-track playlists you can get both loaded into the queue by loading the first with Play Now then load the second with Add to End of Queue.  Now they will all be in the queue.

 

Thanks - have tested and appears to work (despite the app throwing up an error message), will test more thoroughly in the coming days. 
Appreciate the assistance however, you would think that the community finding work-around processes kinda defies the purpose of the Sonos development team

 This one might be on Amazon as no other service suffers from this weird track limit.

Interesting - I never noticed when using Tidal but also didn’t check specifically either
