No, they learnt it. What's the logic link between the CTRL key and using it to 
select multiple files? There is none. You have to read it in a manual or 
similar. A "+" is linked to "add" and as it appears if you hover the file it 
is something you can click on and clicking was learnt already before.

Yes, I can. Hover it, then move the mouse cursor to the info panel and click 
on the play button. Or click on the "+" and then move the mouse cursor. If you 
had already another file selected, click next to the file and then on the "+" 
before you move the mouse to the info panel.
