There is no such rule- I have plenty of CD's with over 12 tracks. I think what Meat was referring to is that Wal-Mart won't carry CD's with more than 12 tracks, for some reason- cost? So, if artists want Wal-Mart to carry their album, they either need to limit it to 12 tracks, or come out with a separate edition.
I do know that the royalty payment to songwriters is more once you put over 12 tracks on an album- no idea why.
