How best to view entirety of long song titles in iTunes?

This has been a problem for at least a decade and it's hard to believe it hasn't been effectively addressed yet: An iTunes track listing will only show roughly the first 30 characters of a song title. So if an album has several versions of the same song, there's no easy way to determine which version is which.


This is what I see, for example, when I call up "Ain't No Mountain High Enough: The Remix Album" by Diana Ross. There are a total of nine tracks, but the information that differentiates each track is almost entirely hidden—including the length of each track. A long press on each track allows for viewing an additional 20 or so characters, but that often still does not give the full track title, and the track length is still unavailable.


It is not unusual to have a song named something like "Here's the Title of a Song (featuring Guest Singer) (Star DJ Extended Dance Mix)" and "Here's the Title of a Song (Star DJ Instrumental Dub)" on an EP. If ITunes can't rotate to show these titles in landscape mode, at least the long press should give the full track information (maybe using a condensed font if necessary) and add the track length.


I wonder if others who share this frustration have other suggestions for how to deal with this problem?
