Selecting Multiple (Range of) List Items in iTunes for Windows

An entry by teli on 06/11/2007

Because it was a bitch to figure out, I’m putting it in my new back up brain.

To select a range of songs in the list, click on the first song, click on Shift (hold it down), and select the last song in the range you want to select.

Sadly, Windows users are used to clicking on the first item in a range, selecting Ctrl+Shift (not just shift), and selecting the last one. Makes me wonder why Apple decided to complicate things for the Windows users. Eh. Oh well.

    I have NEVER used ctrl+shift to select a range of stuff. I’ve always just - clicked item one, held down shift, clicked the last one.

    I use ctrl when I want to select stuff not in a ‘range’ - but just items in the list.

    Am I weird? XD

    Of course you are, hun. (Totally joking.)

    I think it’s a hold over habit from years past, but I’ve developed a comfort for holding down the Ctrl to select multiple items in a list (not entire blocks) and Ctrl+Shift for multiple blocks — but either works. :)

    AHHHHHHH! Heee. Well, who knew I was on the cutting edge of - click-ology? (;

    How are you doing, by the way?
