selecting more than one item

I'm a new mac fan and one simple thing I haven't figured out is how to select more than on thing in a list. Files, songs, or any items: how can I use the mouse and some combination of keys to select more than one? It's come up many times for me, specifically in iTunes. I don't want to clear one song at a time - can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi nikii,

Yes, you can choose each file one by one with the command key
— Hi y pw, to see "⌘" type "⌘" —

or you can select all a, b, c, d, e, f files by selecting "a", pressing Shift (⇧) then selecting "f".

Of course ⌘A still selects all...

In Icon view, you can also use the mouse to select a large area of the window/desktop, and drag the mouse cursor over all the files that you want to highlight.
