I vaguely remember 2GB per file being FAT32 limitation.

I believe the file limit in rockbox in general is 2GB due to 32 signed file pointers.

Edit:  Although I'm surprised it doesn't play.  I'd expect it to work until it got up to the 2GB limit.

Right, fat hard limit is 4GB indeed. Still I seem to remember our implementation is limited to 2GB files.

You really need to use an uncompressed one big track? Why you don't use a lossless or lossy compression? Why you don't use a separate tracks instead of one big track?
