Here comes trouble. 
I am re-ripping my CDs (EAC) and using Picard to TAG them all to perfection. Scanning covers for local artwork for my own CDs. Sticking to Musicbrainz, whilst also updating the site as I go along to better identify my specific releases.
This is causing a few oddities to appear. And I can see a few items that don't fit KODI as well as they could.
Easy one first - what is the max length of an album name? And what happens when that name breaks the lengths?
Here is an example from my shelf
https://musicbrainz.org/release/7eb39200...c7c96049a6
The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.
Yeah, that really is the official name of the album. They broke a record for it.
Ideally I want to leave this in my tag as it is "correct". Just curious how it then gets handled in the rest of KODI.
