I really like itunes. I like its smart playlist functionality a lot. But today as I was listening to stuff on random playlists, I kept hearing songs I had just recently heard. So I got to looking around at how others were using their playlists and found some useful suggestions about creating play lists to limit songs to ones played more than a certain time ago or with a play count less than some number, but those really didn't do what I would like to do.

It would be really nice if you could tweak the random song algorithm to do something like "give every randomly chosen song the chance to be played, but decrease that chance as the play count goes up".

Anyone got any ideas?
