Managing a huge library

I have a library of nearly 5,000 songs, so I have come up with a pretty good way of organizing everything.
I have an SPL called "Good Music". It has songs rated from *-*****, thats how I rate my music. Anything I like gets a rating based on how much I like it, and I set that SPL to Party Shuffle. Problem is, when theres only 600 songs in the playlist and you listen to iTunes and your iPod for hours a day, music begins to get repetitive.
I created a new SPL for songs whos play count is 0, and now have that set to play in Party Shuffle. This lets me do 2 things. 1 is to listen to music that I have pretty much completley ignored. The second thing it lets me do is add a rating to it. I have Synergy set up for keyboard shortcuts, so whatever I'm doing on my Mac, if I like a song, I just hit a few keys to rate it. It gets added to my Good Music SPL so when I listen to that list, its not as repetitive.
Then my last SPL is simple. It just takes songs from my Good Music SPL and limits it to 700MB randomly. I have an MP3 CD player in my car, so I can just burn songs I like to a CD, throw it in my car's CD player and play it in shuffle mode and have hours of music for driving. Its like my own commercial free radio station. When I get sick of that CD, I just have iTunes re-generate 700MB more worth of songs and burn that.
