<p>Indeed, but I reasoned that including the <code>== nil</code> was making the code easier to comprehend.</p>

<pre><code> Also, I don't find this very helpful as you end up with a blank entry,
that possibly won't play correctly, with no obvious way to query info
about it. Perhaps it would be more helpful to display something else
instead if the name is missing.</code></pre>

<p>The entry still has the numeric identifier, which is unconditionally displayed, so you would still be able to query information about the entity (in case that is wanted).</p>
<p>I do not understand what you mean by <em>“that possibly won’t play correctly”</em>, the “name” property of an item is not mandatory - and will not aid when an item is actually scheduled to be played.</p>
<ul>
<li>could you please elaborate that point?</li>
</ul>
<p>Best Regards,<br />
