> A designer I know advocated that users should be coaxed into using shorter titles

My collection is 99% classical. The problem is especially bad for classical tracks. “Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op…” What opus, what movement? what tempo marking? Yes I’ll go back and tell Beethoven to change the title to something shorter and catchier. “Joy, Bros!” Is that better?

It’s some kind hubris to think your UI (itself the result of design laziness) is a bigger priority than the integrity of the composer’s intent.

Supposedly there’s a classical version of Apple Music in the works, which should fix this.
