Set the mp3tag listview left adjusted to see the icon symbols.  
Place the mouse cursor into the left margin between the icon and the left window frame.  
Now you can do what you want.  
Hold down the primary mouse button and drag up or down along the tracklist.  
Doing so the mouse cursor get additionally an elastic selection frame.
