Tampermonkey Script to Fix the Issue Where Long Album Titles Disappear in YouTube Music

In YouTube Music, long album titles may sometimes disappear from the screen even though the title element itself still exists in the page.

This Tampermonkey script fixes the display issue by overriding the relevant CSS, allowing long album titles to be displayed correctly.

What This Script Does

• Fixes the issue where long album titles disappear.
• Displays album titles on up to two lines, truncating any additional text.
• Preserves YouTube Music's original layout as much as possible.

The script only affects long titles, leaving normal titles unchanged.

How to Use

1. Install Tampermonkey in your browser.
2. Create a new user script.
3. Paste the script into the editor and save it.
4. Reload YouTube Music.

If you want to apply the fix to local MHTML files, enable "Allow access to file URLs" in the Tampermonkey settings.

How It Works

The script overrides the CSS responsible for rendering album titles and applies the two-line truncation directly to the title element itself.

As a result, it prevents long album titles from being pushed outside the visible area and becoming invisible.

Summary

By installing this Tampermonkey script, you can easily fix the issue where long album titles disappear in YouTube Music.

Once installed, no additional configuration is required—the fix is applied automatically whenever you use YouTube Music.
