W205 Audio 20 Message "Maximum Tracks"

Hi All,

I have a base level W205. Lately when I plug in any iPhone to play music I get a message "Maximum number of tracks exceeded".

It still plays without any issue, but it's just a bit irritating. Is there a place to reset it?

TIA

Alistair

It tries to index the songs on the device each time it's connected to make navigating between albums, tracks, artists etc faster, but it's limited by its internal memory capacity. It probably can't be reset but I guess as long as it still plays. You could pare down your library I guess.

Personally I've found I have a lot of stuff I never listen to. Like my 3GB of Weird Al Yankovich for example.

It's a cultivated playlist. I prefer his earlier work.
