max number of songs per playlist

I can't add more songs to my playlists. What is causing this? I have reached a max? Is there a max? If so what is the max number of songs I can have in my playlists?


Thank you.

I've seen an issue a few times now on my iPhone whereby I can't play certain songs (the songs look like they are being 'scanned - i.e. the iPhone shows the song and album cover but does not play it) once the total number of songs reaches some limit. I think the limit is ~8,000 songs but I am still investigating.


I can play some tracks - but only those from a couple of the most recent playlists. If I try and play, say, the 'My Top Rated' playlist, the iPhone will scan through all the tracks until it finds a recently added track and then plays that one.
