Thank you fetzenschaedl! I'll work with your proposal for now. I think it'll meet my needs!

I have a playlist with over 10K songs. Right now, when I click shuffle play, it randomly selects songs which is fine, for the most part. However, I'm finding that many songs are not being played at all, which does prove the shuffle really is random. So, I'm looking for a shuffle play that shuffles the songs with the lowest played count. So for example, the playlist has 20 songs with a zero played count, it randomly selects from those songs, until all songs have at least 1 played count, then it would randomly select from all songs with 1 played count, then select from all songs with 2 played count, etc.

Any ideas on how to create this.

I'm assuming it would take some coding, which isn't something I'm really wanting to tackle.
You can achieve something very similar by creating a new Autoplaylist with the following Criteria set (make sure to select the playlist you want to choose songs from)

and then setting the new Autoplaylist as source for AutoDJ

You can't do this with the available tools in MediaMonkey.

You could use an AutoPlaylist with Criteria that Playlist and Last Played more than x days ago.
