How do I select multiple tracks in iTunes?

It's like a hold down control and something else, and then drag the curser to select the songs you want selected. I'm not sure what this shortcut is. Again, I want to select multiple tracks on iTunes so I can move files or delete them. Simply selecting all won't work because the files are different names. Anyone know this shortcut? Thanks!

If you click a track, hold down shift, and then click another one, it will select all the tracks between those two. Holding down command (the apple key) will allow you to select/deselect individual tracks.

Select Multiple Tracks from Library

When I am Rippinga CD to My Library, I can click on "Edit", right click and click on "Get Info.", and modify the "Genre".
When I open a CD from the Library, and click on "Edit", I can't "Select All", and "Get Info", I can't seem to change the Database.
Is there a way to select multiple tracks from the Library, and change the data?

It should be the same way you select multiple items in just about every application. Select any item. Hold SHIFT and click another item to select that and all between it and the original. Hold CTRL to toggle the selection of individual items, adding or removing them from the selection.

Selecting multiple tracks for score purposes

I posted an earlier question about how to have the score reflect multiple tracks. What I have discovered is that the Score mode only displays the selected track, although the Piano Roll mode, which I have used for composing, will display all selected regions. I have researched the forum entries and no one seems to have an answer as to how to select multiple tracks. Apple-A doesn't work on tracks, and shift-click or apple-click doesn't either. What is the secret? Previous replies to others' similar questions actually questioned why you need it anyway. Multiple track scoring needs it!
Help, please.

Fox, I appreciate the time you must take to answer all these questions. I did what you suggested, but it still is not displaying the two instrument tracks I set up in a score set. Some more interesting phenomena: I tried merging regions, but got a composite staff that wouldn't work. When I undid the merge, an amazing thing happened: The score showed both parts! But as soon as I selected a region, the score reverted to the one track. The only other clue to the problem is that the two original regions were set up as midi, but the notes were entered with the step entry keyboard.
Any ideas? Should I dump preferences and restart (an old Final Cut Pro technique)?

I do not have an option to join tracks in Itunes 11.2.2.3. My options button has only two choices after selecting multiple tracks.

I do not have an option to join tracks in Itunes 11.2.2.3. My options button has only two choices after selecting multiple tracks - get track names and submit cd track names. How do I join multiple tracks into one?

Weird, works for me.

Artwork tab missing when selecting multiple tracks

osx 10.5.8
itunes 9.0.3
i'm having trouble assigning MULTIPLE pieces of album art to MULTIPLE tracks SIMULTANEOUSLY.
i see that i can add multiple arts to a single track by:
.. selecting a single track by highlighting -> get info -> artwork tab
.. selecting and playing a single track (so that the speaker icon appears to the left of the track in the playlist; paused or not) -> dragging artwork into the artwork pane in itunes; artwork gets added only to the track with the speaker icon regardless of which track(s) are highlighted. if there is existing artwork, new art gets added (does not replace old art).
also, adding a single piece of art to multiple tracks can be done by:
.. selecting tracks by highlighting -> get info -> info tab -> artwork field (note: artwork FIELD within info TAB of 'get info' dialog, not artwork tab)
adding multiple arts to multiple tracks simultaneously COULD NOT be done by:
.. selecting (highlighting) multiple tracks -> get info; ARTWORK TAB IS MISSING WHEN MULTIPLE TRACKS ARE SELECTED! there is only the artwork field in the info tab. setting this field with art resets any previous art -- the only art for the selected tracks will be the single piece you set in this field.
.. selecting (highlighting) multiple tracks -> dragging artwork into the artwork pane in itunes; artwork gets added only to the (single) track with the speaker icon (playing/paused) regardless of which track(s) are highlighted.
i've seen it done in (unknown version) windows itunes by:
.. selecting (highlighting) multiple tracks -> get info -> artwork tab (NOT MISSING!?)
pretty aggravating heh
help please.

haaaa
i just figured it out.
just above the artwork box in the lower left of the window, there is bar.
you can click on it to toggle between Now Playing and Selected Item.
this was my problem -- mine was on now playing. i didn't realize this was changeable.
thanks for motivating me to click at and around that artwork pane in frustration, guys. yay.
solved.

Selecting multiple tracks to assign compilation tag

Hello,
If I right click on a single track and select "get info" I can check the "part of compilation" check box. However, if I select multiple songs from a compilation album, the check box is no longer present under the info tab. Is this a bug with the latest version of iTunes? Or has the ability to simultaneously assign multiple songs as part of a compilation been removed?
Thanks,

Problem solved. The check box is moved to a different tab (options) if multiple tracks are selected. Gotta love how intuitive apple products are . . .

Is there a way to select multiple track sections from different tracks and join them to make the chorus on iPhone?

I am currently using the iPhone to record my vocals on top of professional beats, or riddims as they are called in the dancehall world. Is there a way for me to select multipe voice sections from different tracks, copy them and then paste them later in the project. I don't want to record the chorus more than once. Normally what I do is sync the project to my wife MacBook Air and then from there edit it but I would like to avoid this. Also, I use the earpods microphone to record my voice and of course it doesn't come out professional quality but it is decent. Do you recommend a microphone that plugs to the iPhone or should I get an interface? Thanks for the help.

You can either copy and paste single regions or duplicate sections, if you want to copy regions
from different tracks in parallel.
See: Extend a song with song sections
Adjust the length of your sections in a way, that the regions you want to copy from different tracks are together in a section of your song.
Add a copy of a section:
Open the song section controls, choose the section you want to copy, then tap Duplicate.The copy is added after the last section.
Tap Done to close the song section controls.
After copying the section, move the new section to the end of the song:
Change the order of sections:
Open the song section controls, then tap Edit.
Drag a section up or down in the list by the handle on its right edge.
When you are finished, tap Done.
Tap Done to close the song section controls.

Select multiple tracks to move to my ipod shuffle

I am finding this new itunes no so intuitive as the old one. 11.0.2
I have the books of the bible on mp3 and want to put the book of Psalms on my ipod shuffle. So I type in the search box , Psalms and i get a list of around 143 individual track chapter. I do not want to right click on each one and then add it to my ipod shuffle. How can I send all of them at once. They will all be going on the same play list.
Also they are not in order. Is there a place I can find them without using the search box where they will appear in order or do I have to put them in a playlist and put them in chronological order. But I have the same problem here - don't want to move 143 tracks one at a time by right clicking.
If anyone has a solution for me I would be soooo greatful. Thanking you in advance

Nicola, welcome to discussions! One possiblity is to make a playlist of the songs you want on your mini, then tell the iPod to sync ONLY to that specific playlist. To sync to a specific playlist, with iPod connected, open iTunes, then Edit>Preference>iPod tab, I think the window to tell iTunes how you want it to sync is about 1/2 way down. Post back if you have any questions.

Is there a way to select multiple audio tracks and make all of them stereo pair at the same time?

I selected multiple tracks, pressed "option L" but was not able to make multiple clips stereo pair at the same time.

If I remember correctly it is not possible modify a group of selected clips on the timeline with the Stereo Pair command - unless all the selected clips have exactly the same properties - such as being linked to video clips, etc. So you have to manually go through and select the dual mono tracks you want to pair individually or in smaller groups to be able to apply the Stereo Pair command.
If you select a bunch (a couple) of clips, and go to the menu Modify, you will see if Stereo Pair is grayed out or not. If it is grayed out, then you can't apply it to those clips as a group, but you probably will be able to apply it if you make smaller selections of clips.

Cannot select Get Info for multiple tracks

I just updated to Lion 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6.1 and imported my Leopard iTunes Library. I can Get Info on individual tracks but when I shift select or command select multiple tracks the iTunes window turns gray and nothing can be selected. iTunes just freezes until I press the Escape key. So far, everything else works as expected - the only problem is selecting multiple tracks (which worked fine for me on previous OS and iTunes versions).
I haven't found any reports of similar problems so maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Any suggestions?

I solved my own problem - the last time I used iTunes was on a two monitor system. I still have the second monitor connected but it was turned off and the iTunes Get Info window for MULTIPLE selected items was opening on the second monitor. When I did a Get Info on a single selection, the window appeared on the main monitor normally - behavior which never made me think that multiple items would show up in a different window on the turned off monitor.

Multiple track (or region) selection for mass editing and deleting.

My project has multiple tracks, and it is too long. So I'd like to be able to select multiple tracks and then remove regions across multiple tracks in one move rather than having to delete regions track by track, and then moving them back to close the gap (which is a time consuming pain)
Is this possible?
Many thanks

Can you make a multiple track selection without using a modifier key?

i think this is mainly a wishlist kind of question as i'm pretty certain it's not possible. while the track tool can be accessed with a single key command, in order to select multiple tracks, you have to hold down the shift key. in FCP, the track tool had several options. for instance, TTTT would select all tracks forward but you could map this to a single key. so many things about premiere are great, but certain keyboard shortcuts are sadly lacking.

yes, really. if i do something more than 5 times in any given day then i'd like to do it as efficiently and quickly as possible. as an editor, i use the select all tracks forward command in FCP at least 20 times a day, but probably more. so even though it's not a "big deal", it does slow down my workflow when i have to hit 2 keys. it's not a big deal to go to the post office but it really makes life easier when the mail carrier stops at my house.

Multiple Track Select Tool - Deselect one clip

On a Mac, I am using the Track Select tool with the shift key held down to select multiple tracks at a certain point. It keeps selecting one clip more than I want. How can I deselect that one clip and retain the others?

Peter J Kovacs wrote:
You can just switch back to the Selection Tool and then SHIFT click the tracks you want to deselect.
Alternatively you can just use the Selection Tool to drag a window across the multiple clips/tracks you want to select. However, you must start dragging the selection window in the empty space above all the the track otherwise you'll just end up just moving a clip.
-Pete
I think you mean switch back to the selection tool and the shift click the clip you want to deselect, not the track.

Is there any way to change user operations on multiple tracks at once?

I have a complex project (99 tracks, dozens of menus and scripts). I need to make one version of this DVD for the end client (teenagers at health clinics) who will be forced to view it in a specified way, and another version for educators (staff at the clinics) who will be allowed to fast-forward and have access to a menu from which they can jump to different points in the DVD.
I have different menus to serve as "first play" for these different versions so that I can easily switch between versions when burning disc images, and I have set up GPRMs to make navigation different for the two versions automatically. My problem now is that I want to disable forward scan, next program, root menu, and title menu for the client version. As far as I can tell, I have to do that independently for every single track and menu. Bleah. This is especially annoying since the DVD is still in development, so I am continuing to change small things and will need to keep both versions up to date as I do.
Is there any way to select multiple tracks/menus and change user operations on all of them? Or any other work-around or script that could do it? I thought this would be a perfect task for the automator, but I'm not very familiar with that application and don't know how (or if it's possible) to create new actions other than the ones that are available.
Any ideas?
thanks!
Julie

Thanks. But the disc inspector only appears to let me change things like where the title menu button takes you, not detailed user operations. I have pretty much given up on this being anything other than a giant hassle, but if anybody knows whether a script could do this, I would be eternally grateful.
