Heart icon missing for video loops

The heart and don’t play again buttons are missing when a song in my daily mix has a video loop. The interface changes slightly compared to a regular song. Anyone has any idea where they are hiding?

Artist name is hidden when album title is too long

Album title should be clipped to one line and "..." at the end when it is longer than one line in album list view because artist name is not shown at all in this case. See attached screenshot.
