I was going to suggest something similar to Lowlander: make autoplaylists that exclude tracks rated zero stars, and use those to play the music on your computer. I do something similar when managing the music on my player, only tracks rated two stars or higher are loaded on my player. I also have a playlist that loads a small number of tracks rated zero stars on my player as a sampler. It gives me a chance to discover a possible hidden gem
The reason I exclude tracks rated one star on my player is that I've found that when a song that is rated zero stars is synced to my player (such as those in my sampler), MediaMonkey automatically changes its rating to one star. At first I found it an irritant, but I've found that I can use it to my advantage. By excluding one-star songs, it ensures that songs in my sampler won't return to my player (unless I change its rating to zero stars or higher than one star).
