Might help…might not, I sure don’t know, but better to feel righteous than not…at least you will have done your part.

Note that Sonos recommend music services keep playlists to a maximum of 500 items, to avoid problems with the 10-second timeout on API calls.

Since moving to cloud-based-interop the app code has changed a lot, but the underlying limitations of SMAPI have not.

I’m cool with that.  But when a playlist of 486 tracks only shows 400 tracks when loaded by the Sonos app that’s on Sonos.  SonoPhone loads all 486 tracks.

Oh for sure, that’s the crappy mobile app. SonoPhone and my apps have no problem with this, and neither does the official Desktop app. The fancy new mobile app uses some kind of crappy framework UX for lists that has arbitrary size limits.
