WP7 Microsoft.Phone.BackgroundAudio.AudioTrack.Tag String Length Limit

This is a bit of an odd one, I found out that the AudioTrack.Tag string property has a limit of 2047, any more than this and an exception is thrown when the AudioTrack object is assigned to BackgroundAudioPlayer.Instance.Track:

HRESULT = 0x8007007A

    Just tripped over this myself with Windows Phone 7.8. Looks like you are the only guy on the internet that has documented it though Geoff. Well done. Saved me a shed load of time (and grief) chasing this down further.

    Glad to help :-) I guess it's 2048 bytes which is a 2047 char null terminated string
