It's interesting to add 'last played' to the smart playlist.

Yeah last played is a good one. I actually have a smart list of all the top played songs that were last played over a year or two a go, which I look through to find some "fell through the cracks" things I enjoyed at one point.

What I most want is a way to count the plays that happened between a set of dates...
