On my DP-32SD the song file name edit function has a weird side effect.
If I have a song named DEMO 1.0 and go through the mix/mastering process, within the DEMO 1.0 song file folder the mix master will show up as "DEMO 1.0.WAV" and the undo file as "DEMO 1.0_z.WAV". If I then perform a name edit and change the song name to DEMO 1.1, the files underneath the song file folder do not get renamed, and subsequent mixing/mastering will result in a new file named "DEMO 1.1.WAV", etc. If I keep changing the version number in the file name via name edits, the song file balloons with all the orphaned mix files and their corresponding undo files. I suppose you could use this to your advantage to keep multiple versions of a mix, but it's damned annoying really. Especially when your trying to swap song files between DP32's attached to different computers across town and the song contains four or five extra huge mix files that don't really belong there. I think you could safely remove the orphaned mix files from the song file folder but I haven't tried this yet. I didn't want to corrupt it somehow.
I haven't tried this on my friends DP-32, but I bet it has the same bug or uh "feature".
