Interface: classical music titles are impossible to chose, because truncated/badly displayed

Hi,

When playing certain genres of music, such as classical music, it becomes impossible to know what track to select, because the useful part of the information is truncated.

This happens, because of the following:

  • the artist name is long
  • the "album" name is long
  • the name of the song are the same from 1 album to another (like a symphony contains the same movement names, from 1 symphony to another).

Because the UI appends the artist and album in the list, it becomes impossible to know what to select.

I propose to remove the "artist" part of a song displayed name, so that the album name is readable: indeed, the artist name is already displayed at the top of screen, and shared for all songs. I do not propose to have the long name scroll like like in the mini-player window, otherwise all items would then move all the time, being quite annoying.

Here is an example, when selecting the artist "Ludwig van Beethoven". There are 2 piano sonatas here (it truncates which one, so I don't know which ones). The name of the track is the movement part name (ex: "3. Rondo"), which is not helpful (but correct):
