1. Found I could right click in the DTA window and get everything unselected. Then, I could pretty easily select a batch of songs to download. Worked well.
Only thing that became problematic was that when I downloaded 3 albums at once, I ended up with a folder of songs I had to later segment out because they were 1-"songnamefromcd1".mp3, 1-"songnamefromcd2".mp3, 1-"songnamefromcd3".mp3 and so on, of course, with the actual song names.
2. Found I could set preferences to download up to 10 at a time in DTA.
And now, to explore the next post...
