Hi - Does anyone know if there is now a limit to the number of tracks that the Apple Watch can sync from Apple Music? I know before there used to be a limit of 250 songs which you could override to 500 but this has since disappeared but there is no information that I can see to know if there are other limits imposed. I have a playlist which is quite large, but its the only playlist I am trying to sync, but when connected to the charger and follow the process it will only sync a percentage of the tracks here, without any notification to say whether it's limited. I know there is space as when I do try and add another album to the watch, this will sync in full no problem, but the playlist looks limited.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
 
I have just figured out that the Playlist has actually synched in full, however when you are browsing the tracks using the Apple Watch (via the album cover tile to show its on the watch library) for some strange reason it will only display 50 tracks at a time. When you view the full album via 'My Library' it will allow you to scroll through the entire playlist.
 
I cannot sync more than ~225 songs/7 GB of music to the watch. I also sync podcasts and I think that causes the music limit to be lower. I am using Apple Lossless files on Series 5.

How many can you store?
 
I have 350 songs synched @ 4.3GB, 224Mb of Podcasts and 600MB of Audible, but still have 3.4Gb remaining on the watch. You shouldn't have an issue adding more music, have you checked to see that the playlist will only show 50 a time but actually syncs the entire playlist?
