Instance Method Details

#to_s ⇒ Object

TODO The algorithm to use the maximum number of characters is not the best yet. We should also try to cut down single fields that are overly long in favor of not loosing another short field.

Example:

track.name = "A"
track.artist = "Very long artist name that is close to the maximum length of the whole line"

The algorithm below would just return “A”, but a better version would return “Very long … - A”.
