How would you do that?

From the CustomWPS page
 
%?if(%ss(0, 20, %it), =, %it)<track title length is 20 characters or less|track title length is over 20 characters>

I've attempted it, but the issue is there's no way to guarantee a break on a space unless there's some additional conditional wizardry we can do.

I've made a way recently to achieve this, but it's not foolproof since it relies on Bilgus' new file reading tag. There's no way within the theme spec to obtain a whitespace character for comparisons to make a conditional algorithm for breaking on space.

Thanks.  So you are hardcoding a specific mono spaced font which allows you to pre know exactly how many chars you can fit in the horizontal space?

Thanks.  And what if the second line of text doesn't fit within the horizontal space - does it scroll or wrap again or just get clipped/truncated?  The Title, Artist, Album, etc ID3 tags for Classical Music can sometimes be extremely verbose.

Do you ever notice any processing time lags in your WPS?

I will have to try out these various themes and also look at their code.
