Is there a priority-plugin?

I have a musicdata base of like 500 songs, and i al like them, but some i like better then other songs and I've a few albums of a band I like to hear but not every five songs.
So I'm searching for a plugin where i can give a priority to the songs. So I can say that these songs don't come up so often but i still can have them in my library.

I hope you can understand what i mean, and that someone can help me with a plugin like this.

If you use a different title-formatting (like upNorth's Dynamic) then adding a "TRACKRATING" tag to your files is a good way to start, but unforunately, it's merely cosmetic at the moment, AFAIK. I was just about to request that a feature be added to the Shuffle plugin to take track rating into account when selecting files for playback.

Consider this a poor man's alternative to a song-priority plugin:

Create a playlist with all your files inside. Let's call this playlist X.
Make a playlist of your most favourite files. I'll call it playlist A.
Make another playlist of your next most favourite files. I'll call it playlist B.
Add playlist A to playlist X. Add it again. Now add playlist B to the new playlist once.

Adjust as needed.  With about 500 items in your database, you'll be fine. This might not work so nicely with really big databases, though.
