That just becomes an organizational disaster.

Files, there's no file limitation per folder, but To answer your question, no -- I have not gotten past that since i have no need for 255 subdirectories.

Also I think I'm not affected any more since my headunit has been swapped.
There must be a limit as I'm running into one.
255 folder limitation, not nested, flat, directory level deep only.

e.g. folder setup, each folder having a typical number of tracks in each (but with long filenames in some cases)

/ - addressable by the player
/music - adddressable by the player
/music/album1 - addressable by the player
....
/music/album255 - addressable by the player
/music/album256 - not addressable by the player

interesting.. it may be a player limitation not just a file ssystem constraint.
