Article: [senit] can any (clever) one help?

As Charlie Danger says, depends on the programme you're working with.

iTunes is dead easy to make an album in, which the adult can support  
in terms of titling the playlist. Then your student can simply listen  
through the tracks and choose those she likes and drag them to her  
album. Just a task of drag and drop. If she finds targeting the album  
a problem, then the adult can demonstrate for her, and then give her  
the chance to have a go again.
The nice thing is that if she drags a song into the wrong album  
there's no problem, the original stays where it was anyway, and you  
can just click and delete the copy that's ended up in the wrong place.
Works a treat with an iPod obviously, but it's also fine just to  
listen to via the computer (or share the album so that other iTunes  
users on the network can listen to the selection of songs).
