Play all iTunes songs at least one time

If, like me, you have about six days' worth of music on your machine, and would like to make sure you listen to most of it, then just create a smartlist with number of times played being equal to 0 (File -> New Smart Playlist). Make sure live updating is on. When you hear a song you like, rate it by control-clicking on the iTunes icon in the dock. Make another playlist for all rated songs, and you have a good way to gather your best songs together.
[Editor's note: This is a good way to get around iTunes' "semi-random" play mode. Our CD collection ripped to about 2500 songs. I have one album by Yaz in that collection ... yet I hear a song from the Yaz album every day!. With the smart playlist based on times played, at least that will end after the first week.]
