Is it going to be added in the near future? ---

I don't know. Yet, the ordinary way would be to use the Ctrl-key while clicking/selecting a single track. To select a bigger number of files it is advisable to use a filter or sort the files accordingly and then select them in a bulk mode. ---

Yes, I know about "Ctrl-key", "filter" etc, but for example in my case it would be really useful if I had checkboxes next to each track. What's my case? Let's say I have 2000 tracks and some of them are duplicates. I make an "eye scan" so to locate and delete them. But sometimes I have to listen so to decide which one should I keep. So if I have make a selection using "Ctrl-key" I lose it when I click to listen to a track. With checkboxes I wouldn't have this problem!!! What do you think? ---

I just tried it in the Windows Explorer and added the check boxes. I can select any number of individual files. But as soon as I right-click on a not-selected file to get the context menu to play that track, all the other files get unselected. So the check boxes do not behave any different than the Ctrl-key. ---
