I can't figure this out - if my folder has 200 music files and I want to quickly select the 12 songs of a particular album to change their tag how do I quickly select those 12 without holding down Ctrl button and clicking the remaining 11 one by one? There seems to be no way to quickly lasso the entire 12 to highlight them quickly. Or is there? It would sure make editing them easier..... must be a way and dummy me hasn't figured it out yet. Any givers?
