Or, what might be the best way: implement every way you can think of and then let the user customize it in the settings. (So that I can select "cut off long names")

To some extent I plan to (e.g. it will be possible to tell the fields not to scroll and I will bubble that up to the user in the future (still need some other UI elements before I can do nice config screens ), but this UI element isn't meant to be limited just to the iTunes plugin. Like the button that is used everywhere, that is the purpose here too. The idea is to provide consistency between the App and the plugins.

I think I like the idea of having it not scroll but add "..." to the end if it is too long as an option. Thanks.

And speaking of passengers... I personally prefer to talk to them about the music, but hey, that's just me

Mine are usually too busy keeping their lunch down to talk much
