The 7000 supports long file names, for technics, midi and digital audio. Full customs support long file names, individual customs have always been a different menu system which you would have been familiar with if you had owned a 6X00. I don't recall ever reading anywhere that floppy disks or song manager support long file names, so your assumptions in those areas were plainly wrong, Bob.

However I do recall many posts on transferring your existing or backup files to SD which mentioned many of the renaming points. The main problem is having to rename all the files on the 7000. That is no different to the problem you had loading up the hard drives in the past, since you had to do it from floppy. This was solved by spending money on the techmanager program or using the ttx program before transferring. Hopefully a similar renaming system should be perfectly possible on the 7000 because it would help those people with lots of backups.
