The 1.28 firmwhare with the 4,000 file limit

from what i understand the way they got to 4000 files was reducing the amount of characters each field sorts on. For example IIRC in 1.27 song titles were sorted up to 24 characters in 1.28 that is reduced to 16. Album was 16 in 1.27 and in 1.28 is now 12 ect. This reductions in the characters it sorts caused issues with the sorting for some users so they made a decision to leave the database at 2000 in order to sort files using more characters.
