kick out songs after they play

This may have been suggested before, but I couldn't find it...

I've just created a few SmartPlaylists to achieve the following:

To have a playlist of selected songs, and the list automatically "kick out" the songs after they play once, regardless of Play Count.

What I did:

Create the playlist of songs you want - be it dynamically, or manually.
Give it a name.

Create 2 SmartPlaylist with the following perameters:

First Playlist:


Last Played > Is > Today's Date

I named mine "Played Today"
___

THEN Second Playlist


Playlist > Is >

(name of Playlist you created with your selected music in it)


Playlist > Is NOT > "Played Today"

Give this one a name and play! Watch the songs disappear after they've played!

If there's a better way to achieve this, I'm open to suggestions!

Well there's no need to be referencing other playlists for this. I suppose if you do not want to copy out the criteria from an old playlist onto another one, then this would be easier, but you could combine all those feilds by saying the regular criteria of one playlist and adding to it "Last Played > Is Not > Today"
Also you may want to change it to "Last Played > Is Not In The Last > 1 > Day"
That way if you were listening to music around midnight it wouldn't screw things up...
