how can I mark albums as checked and disliked?
Yes, I can set a heart for an album that I like or plan to buy, but I also want to indicate albums that I have heard and evaluated as bad, so that I see immediately which album I would/should ignore in the future. Sometimes (half year later) I taste a album again and then I remember “oh, no, it is not well”. I want to avoid to check such album again…
That’ not “dislike”, it’s ban, i.e., prevent playing in Radio. You may fare better creating custom tags for your purpose, and then creating a custom view with Focus and bookmarking that.
Well if you need to mark them then they have to be in your library. Might as well make a ‘Dislike’ tag and just tag them as well as ban them. Tagging them also allows easy selection for a mass delete.
True, but if they are deleted, then one can’t (at some future date) remember that the album has already been evaluated and rejected, which would seem to defeat the OP’s purpose,
Yes, it is a problem to get the hearts on the songs level only when I marked the album as being part of my library before. I see the albums of Qobuz listed and I want to declare those albums that I checked earlier as bad for my taste, so that I will not waste my time to check it later again. Currently there don´t seem to be a comfortable, simple solution for that.
