Support for playback of multitrack
recordings added

This enables the playback of multitrack recordings prepared in a
DAW, for example.

The procedures are as follows. (See “Folder Operations” on page
37 of the Owner’s Manual.)

To combine multiple files into one take, put all the files into the
same folder and follow these rules.
