hi there. i was hoping there is some way to check/uncheck multiple songs at once in itunes. i figured you would just select several tracks and then check/uncheck the little box and they would all change... but it doesn't seem to work that way.
i think i got this to happen somehow, but for the life of me i can't remember... thanks a bunch!

I also would like to know how to do this! Traditionally, you *should* be able to select all the tracks, then hold option and click one check box, to do them all. (similar things to this were in classic mac os - such as the disclosure triangles in list view).
I have yet to find a way to do this, anyone else know how?

damn... assuming you mean the apple key is command... it checks/unchecks ALL tracks regardless of what tracks you selected. bummer is that it just un-did all unchecked boxes in my library

Apple put out a set of AppleScripts for iTunes that includes this feature. Poke around their AppleScript website for a bit and you should find it.

havent seen the apple scripts for that yet, ill go check them out, but for something like that it should be built in, scripts IMHO should be a temp patch and intigrated in the update do you think ?

The scripts have been around forever. I don't think they're being incorporated into the app. Although the duplicate finder was, so you never know.

You can use the command-click that macmike42 suggested, you just have to put the songs you want to un-check into their own playlist, select the playlist and command-click one of the checkboxes. This only un-checks the songs which are in that playlist but applies the state across iTunes (they are unchecked in your library and other playlists).
It's a bit of a detour but it works.

Or, you can type some stuff in the box up top to filter the visible tracks, and then only those tracks will have their checkboxes toggled (at least, in my one-time test).
