I've now discovered iTunes DJ can be used for this purpose in partnership with an empty playlist: Create an empty playlist and set iTunes DJ to source the songs from it. When you do, you'll receive a warning prompt that the playlist is empty. iTunes DJ will now only play songs you drag into the list, stopping if it runs out; and clears out played songs after the amount specified in Settings.
This has the small benefits of not having to clear out a playlist, quicker right-click access to add songs to the play list, and it also means guests (iPhone/iTouch) can always request songs (though I haven't tested this).
