I'd like a slightly better way of displaying long playlist names in the playlist menus. At the moment, if the name is too long, it gets truncated at the end.

eg. "Adventures Beyond the Underworld" becomes "Adventures Beyond the Underwor..."

This is fine for most long names, but is a problem for some. For example, that previous name is part of a 2 disc set. And it's not even the full name ("The Orb's Adventures Beyond..."). Yes, I know that I could amalgamate them into one playlist, but I generally like my artist/album structures to reflect the CDs.

Is it possible to make the name scroll after a while? A half second of so...

Or an option for horizontal menus.

When a title is that big, it takes up the full horizontal area of the screen, in small font, except for a few pixels for border.

A horizontal menu wouldn't really help.
