    hi,
    I searched a lot on Google but found NO answer to this subject.

    in Windows Media Player (WIN10), The playlist can not be expanded, so if the title of the song is long, it simply cuts it.
    Is there a way to expand this area so I can see the name of the full song?

    I would appreciate any help or guidance.
    Thank you :)

    *Please just do not tell me to expand by dragging the area, because I dragged to the end... LOL  ;D

    I just gave it a shot and-

    I have no idea. It's a seemingly obvious feature to allow users to resize columns so it's absence doesn't make any sense.

    Only way to resize the columns is to make the playlist area itself larger but it seems  that it only allows up to a certain size.

    I like how the "Help with playlists" option takes you to a generic Windows 10 Help page that doesn't give you any information about Windows Media Player let alone playlists. To be fair it's not as if they've been developing software for 30+ years, they are just a startup with 2 dev... oh, they have and they have HOW many employees? nevermind...
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

      Dear BC_Programmer,
      LOL... That's pretty much what I thought  ;D

      First, thanks for trying to help. I really appreciate it ...
      Second, I will try to ask in their official forum.
      And lastly, if someone can find a solution, I'll be happy to hear.

      Thank you all

        update:
        I got an answer from Microsoft's support,
        And this is the answer of the product expert: "The product was designed like this and can not be changed."
        What you can do is give feedback and hope they will improve it in the future.
