When playing music you can not read the full names of longer titles (or artist or album).
This is very annoying when playing different files which have similar names only to distinguish at the end of the line - which you can NOT see.
If you have various chapters of an audio book, there is no way to find the one you want to hear.
In such cases it would help to rotate to landscape - but this is NOT possible within the music player!
The display does not switch to landscape when holding landscape (just like the start screen would not switch to landscape at all)
Any solutions?
I am not sure if the new feature of GDR3 "screen rotation lock" can help, because the music player might not switch to landscape at all...
(edit: it is a lumia 720, but I think this is similar on all wp8 phones)
PS: The best solution would be automatic scrolling of text lines which are longer than the display. But this is probably against the design rules of windows metro design...?
