Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Very long song names (or whatever tokens are used) cause the music module to become excessively wide and causes other modules to be pushed out the way.

Describe the solution you'd like

There should be two new options (bikeshed names):

-truncate_width - sets the max width for the widget. Beyond this, the text is truncated.

truncate_mode - whether to truncate from the start, middle or end of text.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None.
