Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying 100 is a good limit. It's just that if the list (however long it is) isn't in memory, scrolling is going to be very slow as the non-visible entries are retrieved from paged memory on disk (or more realistically, built on the fly). I'm not even sure that TinySC can use a page file, since there is no guarantee that a disk will be connected. Having said all of that, I never use static playlists of any sort myself - I find it much more fun to use random mix or select tracks/albums as the mood takes me. I never need the "current" playlist to be very big. Random Mix rotates the list anyway...some come on and others drop off dynamically. But - I do have some multi-disk albums with more than 100 tracks. If I wanted to listen to one of those all the way through this would be a real pain...
