Just listen to it like it's an lp. Don't listen to the whole thing at once. If you do, Then it will take longer to appreciate it. And don't listen to both halves/sides of a cd in the same day. Especially if you listen to Tommy or, the topographic ocean by Yes. Actually skip the second one alltogether.
It takes at least four days to get through those. Or the Wall. Or the Who sell-out will take two days.

I guess Julian Cope's Jehovahkill takes 3?

How to not have a bad time listening to music. Just listen to it like it's an lp. Don't listen to the whole thing at once. If you do, Then it will take longer to appreciate it.
And don't listen to both halves/sides of a cd in the same day. When I evaluate new albums for purchase, I consider the ability to listen to the whole thing in one sitting a mark of quality. For example, I recently evaluated two 2020 releases. Both were by bands who were already in my music collection. I lost interest in the first album after the first four tracks (approximately 18 minutes). But I listened to the second album (43 minutes total) in one sitting. I purchased the second album.

Someone co-opted mstreepsucks' feed and posted something thoughtful.

I forgot to add, if it 's music that's hard to get into. And is complicated like jazz for instance. I would reckon it's a good idea to only listen to no more than one song per day .
That is... only If you are not already familiar to the kind of music, that is. Otherwise you'll never appreciate it.

There is no right or wrong way to enjoy music nor is there some arbitrary amount of time it takes to appreciate a piece of music.

I'd say, do always treat it like an LP. Too easy to jump tracks at the drop of a hat now. Let a whole "side" play out. Always new joys to discover. People are lazy now and just want the odd favourite tracks to listen to time and time again. Songs need time to breathe and grow.
