You can change directly under "Properties" (also Multi Select) or:
The OP was asking for something where plays could be altered at the album level.
As you say, you can multi-select the tracks, but there is a trap (bug?) to be aware of.
Say the album has 3 tracks, each with 2 plays. In this case Track Properties will display Play Count of 6 (I.e 3*2 = 6) when you ,multi-select all tracks for the album.
But if you make an alteration to this value, it assigns your new value
to each of the tracks.
ie. if you change this whole album play value from 6 to 9, you end up with each track having a play count of 9, giving an album play count of 27!
ie. it
displays Play Count for a selection of tracks, as
the sum of all play counts ... but it forgets this if you make a change, and it writes your value to every track in your selection..
