 smart playlist that avoids duplicates?

Questions
redline
 
I have multiple barenaked ladies concerts in MP3 format. These concerts include several duplicate songs, but I enjoy the subtle differences so I don't want to simply delete them...

But I'd like to have a playlist that would play these concert tracks for me randomly while maximizing the time between duplicate songs. e.g. this simple example:

suppose I have songA, songB, songC, songD, songE and then songA2 which is another rendition of songA.

my preferred playing order would be something like:

songB
songA
songC
songD
songE
songA2
[repeat...]

The more I type this, the more I think this is a pretty tall order. :-)

I too have loads of BNL concerts. What you're asking is a tall order unless you're looking for an applescript solution... can anyone come up with something better?

Here are a couple of options:

1) Treat each "concert" in iTunes as an individual "album" (you've probably already done this). Then load the "albums" you want into an On-The-Go playlist, and shuffle by album. Advantage: simple. Disadvantage: the songs within each "album" won't be shuffled.

2) To shuffle the songs in each indivdual concert. . . Turn each "concert" into its own playlist in iTunes, then randomize the songs each of these individual playlists. Then, load the "albums" you want into an On-The-Go and shuffle by album. Slightly more complicated than (1), but closer to what you're looking for. . . .
