From the Forums: How Many Songs Can I Have In a Playlist?

jliddil had a great question this week that hasn’t made its way to our FAQ page yet.
He writes, “It seems that with a playlist of 100 songs or more don’t load completely in the mixer. As I scroll down the list if songs becomes blank and nothing is listed after a given artist.”
Content expert Chris Kluge sets the record straight about playlists and Podfitness: “Yes there is a playlist limit of 200 songs for PC. We do this so everything loads up quicker and you don’t have to wait as long. I have a lot of songs I use for variety, so I just break them down into genre lists: metal list, rock list, other metal list.”
On the PC, you’re limited to the first 200 songs in your iTunes or Zune playlists (mostly since loading your songs into your web browser is no small feat).
On the Mac, there’s no limit set specifically, but it’s highly advisable to keep playlists you intend to use with your Podfitness workouts under 200 songs, since the more songs it has to load, the longer it takes.
Or maybe staring at that spinning beach ball is your thing. Who are we to judge?
Keep the questions coming, we’ll keep picking the best of the week for our “From the Forums” feature!
