I would like to select multiple songs for the music app to play. The files are presented as tiles. Is there any sort of multi-select, other than brute force click'm all?

You can select multiple tiles by using the right mouse button:
- Right-click the first song
- hold Shift and right-click the last song.
This works not only in Music, but in many other applications, e.g. in SkyDrive. Also, you can replace right-click with Ctrl-left-click, so to select songs this way you would:
- Hold Ctrl and left-click the first song
- Hold Ctrl+Shift and left-click the last song.

Easy, peasy. Thanks. Not the most intuitive solution. I don't understand why the left click doesn't do the same.. Oct 31, 2012 at 23:44

2I think left click means choose (perform a default action on an element), while right click means select. Note that you can also click the left mouse button while holding Ctrl to achieve the same effect.– DzinxOct 31, 2012 at 23:50

I think you meant Shift , not
Ctrl
.. but, yea. Left click works too, in cases where the default action is selection. Oct 31, 2012 at 23:55 -
No, I meant Ctrl :) You can Ctrl-left-click the first song, then Ctrl-Shift-left-click the last song. Try it :)– DzinxOct 31, 2012 at 23:56
