Here are the libre alternatives:

  • USbS (actually the mention of this on mwkn motivated me to write Billboard)

In the meantime, Billboard 1.0.1 is still waiting in Ovi QA, but 1.0.2 will be uploaded right after 1.0.1 is published (don't want to "reset" the QA time by replacing 1.0.1 in the queue with 1.0.2). Version 1.0.2 adds support for a system-aligned timer, so the Billboard is correctly updated even if you don't have a changing element there (e.g. if you would only have the date on the billboard, this won't ever update - this is fixed in 1.0.2).

Not sure :/ There's no real feedback that a developer gets during QA. At the end, one either gets a "published" or "QA failed" mail with (in case of failure) a list of things that didn't work out).

The fix in 1.0.1 is that the text will be elided (ellipsized?) when it would go over the screen. You can also use the song title and song artist as separate fields (that's actually what I do, and is available in 1.0.0 already). I'll think about maybe adding something that would just split lines at word boundaries.
