As you say i do not want to call you a lier so here is what Sonos has
to say about the track limits.

Version 1.0 - 30,000
Version 1.1 - 30,000
Version 1.2 - 40,000
Version 1.3 - 40,000
Version 2.0 - 50,000
Version 2.1 - 50,000

So yes they can get UPTO 50,000 tracks but then they temper that with:

The current limit is 50,000 tracks or filled RAM in the ZonePlayers --
whichever comes first. Long file names, track names, playlists, and
composers use more RAM.

If you can simplify your file names, you'll be able to squeeze in a few
more tracks. Classical track names can be very long and ripping programs
tend to throw the whole track name into the file name. By simplifying
the track names, you'll free up more index space.

Finally, you may have some seasonal music (Christmas, Easter, etc.)
that does not need to be linked into the library all year. If you move
each season's music into a separate share, only the currently linked
shares will dig into the 50K limit.

Also by reading through the forums many people are stating that they
have hit the Memory limit with only 35,000 to 38,000 tracks and have
minimal tagging as it is. To remove more tags looses searching
capabilities and having to reduce the file name length should just not
have to be done. There is enough to do just adding music to your system
with out having to worry about the file name length.

I surely know that I do not want to have to re-index my collection
every time I want to listen to a to seasonal music. That requires that
I split my music up and put it on different shares or folders. I just
want to keep my collection in one place and have the ability to listen
to Christmas Music in July if I want to.
