In Nautilus, you can try selecting files that are next to each other using 
shifted arrow keys. If you want to select files that are not next to each 
other, you can hold down the control key while you move through your files and 
mark each file with the space bar, still holding down the control key until you 
are ready to move or copy all the files at once.

That being said, it sounds like a shell command like
mv *<ArtistName>* <directory>
may be much faster.

Hi Folks,

When wanting to move files from one directory to another, is there a way 
to do so selectively, say in batches. You see, my "Download" directory is 
full of CD tracks of music from different artists. I am wanting to 
seperate the tracks into their respective directories. CTRL X will move 
files, and CTRL-c will copy them, but this is all individually.

Thanks,
Riv
