Wel, those issues is not addressed in the recent updates as far as I no, actually, I stil try to figure out how to do multi track moad affectively before I get it, because my problem is that although its possible to move between tracks just fine, it will be an issue to select the correct files to assign to the tracks wich you plan to export, or to change into a wave file to make space for new data. As there is no audible feedback there as far as I no. I wish that olympus can just wake up and give us full accessibility. Its now five years since they started the talking menus, its now time for better. They always do half a job with these things. Maybe they should also consider tts, then it won't be necessary to record all the promts and it take space on the internal memory.
