I have your solution if you're a Mac user (Windows users have the same files, I think, but I don't know where they're stored).
Your preferences, playlists, and ratings aren't stored with the song files themselves. Fortunately, they're really easy to find.
Back up these two files (~ is your Home folder name):
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml
These two files contain the information you're trying to store. Mine are about 4MB for a iTunes library of 15GB. You can periodically burn them to disk or back them up during your periodic system backups. You have a system backup strategy, right? :-)
Keep backing up your song files with the SPL 'Date Added After X' method. Get the two files above also, and you'll have the comprehensive backup you're seeking.
