Cannot load more than 100 songs in player at once

If I select more than 100 songs in a folder and right-click, "Play with MusicBee" or try to drag this amount to a player to be played, it will not load all 101+ tracks to the player to play. If I need to go through 500 songs in a sitting quickly, trying to quickly preview or find something, it takes much longer if I can only do 100 at a time. For DJs, we're dealing with a lot of music on a regular basis. Please expand what can be loaded into it. Hundreds would be great.

It is likely this is not possible.  I do not think this is a MusicBee issue but rather a limitation of Windows.  Different commands follow different rules which are set in stone.  Sending files to another application via menus I believe is done through a shell command:

ShellExecute/Ex functions: These functions, often used for tasks like opening files or launching applications, impose a command line length limit of around 2048 characters, related to INTERNET_MAX_URL_LENGTH.

So the 100 file size limit is being reached as each of the tracks names you are sending over is likely, on average, around 20 characters in length.

I can load more than 100 using other players. It is only MusicBee that does not allow. If I try to load 105, it will only load one song into the player and discard the rest from the player list.

As Pickles said, whatever issue you're having, it's not being caused by MB. I can load my entire music collection into MB with no issues. I just loaded 24,000+ tracks into MB and it started playing immediately.

Thank you for confirming that in your test, it works.
