I'm running out of memory in SONOS, trying to index about 60k FLAC files. I'm told I need to reduce the number of tags, and not sure I should go about that here. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Using Version 17.

SONOS' 65k track limit is further reduced by tag length.  You're close to the limit with tracks, so probably your track names, or file names are long.  Can you provide some examples of these?

An Example:    D:\JR\Harold Budd\The White Arcades\Harold Budd - The White Arcades - Coyote.flac

So, I have a Folder for each artist, a sub-directory for each album and a file for each track.

[MrC]

You might consider renaming your tracks to [Track #] [Name] only.  Your paths, along with Artist, and Album tags are duplicating the same data.

   D:\JR\Harold Budd\The White Arcades\8 Coyote.flac

You can use the MC Rename tool to perform this.

I did this, reduced all my file names to Artist album track # Track.

No appreciable difference in the SONOS index process.
