ahum, showing only x tracks is the reason to not display all tracks in
one go...that's useless (and as you mentioned, would probably crash the
stuff or would take a mega long time to load). But if they are listed
alphabetically with X tracks per page, there is no issue - (you click on
a character and it would load those tracks beginning with... etc)

but in fact i don't care what's displayed when you press "tracks" - if I
could do a search on that "track" folder, i'm fine with that. But that's
not the case: when pressing the new track folder, it shows the list of
albums or artists (depending on what you've set in additional browse
modes).
When doing a search for a trackname its displaying album/artist hits
too...next to a tracks list. When you click on the track hitlist, you
need to scroll through that list once more to find what you need.

Sonos might have it easy, but it works. If you search for a trackname
'time', this track would show up first in the list. All other tracks
with 'time' in their name would follow. In LMS, you get it all mixed up
(so probably a setting somewhere?)
Personally i didn't hit the 65K limit yet so - currently, we don't care
about that one. (btw, creating multiple main folders to index is quickly
done - indexing is very fast)
