Another option is to BAN a track. You BAN a track by cycling through the ‘heart’ (Roon Favorite) for a track. That is, empty heart (non-favorite) gets clicked and it becomes a full heart (Roon Favorite). If you click that full heart icon it becomes banned.
You won’t see a hidden track, but Roon may choose to play it in Roon Radio, for example.
A banned selection won’t be played at all until that state is changed.
Official word from Roon CTO Brian:

A banned album or track will never be played as part of a larger unit of playback (artist, radio, “all”, genre, …). You must select it for playback directly in order to hear it.
There is no affect on search or other browsing functionality–banning purely relates to playback.
