itunes and Mac users- Quick way to delete unwanted files?

Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

I am almost finished ripping all my CD's to my Mac Mini's external HD's (its only taken all Summer!) Usually I just rip the entire CD to .wav and then later delete the tracks I dont ever listen to in order to save some HD space.
Usually I do this by going into the library a giving the duds a "one star" rating and then sort by rating, then delete the "ones". The issue is that it takes a while to dump the duds. If I do them one at a time, I have to do Clear, and a couple other clicks before a single track is deleted. This takes to long especially if I need to dump 50-100 tracks at a time. I have also tried to do a Ctrl/Shift and then clicking on all the tracks to select them all at once but often when you click on one, it will unselect the others and that gets fraustrating. Is there an easy way to do this?
BTW, I am using a wireless keyboard and mouse that is a standard issue PC keyboard, not a MAC. Would a MAC keyboard have a shortcut key or any additional functionality that would help me?
Or is there something I can set in my preferences/control panel (or whatever MAC calls it) to shortcut this process? Thanks in advance.
