Is there any documentation?  I’m pushing the 65K track limit (65705).  All my tracks are in one foloder on a nas organised by artist and album name. I am using MediaMonkey 5.  

Does the library indexing start at A and index the files up to Z?  I can see artists from the start and end of my collection. 

Also I ran the update on my PC and it came up with a message suggesting I remove some playlists.  Are the files in playlists included in the 65K limit?  

I am tempted to move all my christmas tunes into a separate folder and just add that at christmas.  Also I have a punk album with 100 tracks.  That is probably wasting 8 normal albums worth of space.

I’d start by sending Sonos a diagnostic and asking them to look at your music library and playlist stats and let you know where you stand since users can’t see that information.

You might consider splitting your library up, move things like the Christmas music to a Plex server to free up space for more often used tracks.

We used to have access to a lot more internal information that was quite useful but Sonos made a decision to remove that access, they cited “security” as the reason if I recall correctly.

Security triggered by a few dummies leaving their routers wide open to outside attacks, attacks which were then blown way out of proportion by shoddy click-bait style journalism.

And likely GDPR.
