☆1 : The specified value is different for each client.

• BubbleUPnP / MediaMonkey (Android) Get the rest after getting the data for drawing area.
• MediaMonkey (Win) - Get data for a specific quantity.
• foobar2000 - Acquire a certain number of items at a time, but it may be difficult to obtain benefits due to the large number of items acquired at one time.

☆2 ; Playback may not be possible if resampling takes a very long time, such as high-resolution classical songs. ☆3 : Implemented, but Jpsonic doesn't support that query. (Like WMP, a greedy query that searches less common fields)
