In iTunes, choose New Smart Playlist... from the File menu. You'll get a dialog box with "Match the following condition:" and a few other choices. To add additional conditions, press the "(+)" button at the right. This changes the box to let you require "any" or "all" of the listed conditions; most of my playlists use "all".
In my case, my "5 @14" playlist has two conditions: - rating is ***** - last played is not within the last 14 days
I also have "live updating" and "only checked songs" turned on. (I uncheck songs to remove duplicates of the same cut of the same song.)
I then have other playlists "4 @70", "3 @1yr", etc. The final step is a smart playlist which uses "Match any of the following" and simply lists "Playlist is 5@14", "Playlist is 4 @70", and so on. This puts them all together into one mega playlist.
One trick that works well with this and "live updating" is to turn on crossfade playback with a one or two second delay. This keeps iTunes from removing the song from the playlist before starting the next song, which would interrupt your listening....
