You're right, this is not really the purpose of this plugin and also
maybe a bit too complicated a solution for what you're trying to
achieve.
I think -play count- and -(smart) playlists- is the way to go here.

To keep track of which songs you have or haven't played yet you're
better off using the *play count* value. It's stored in the LMS
persistent database and survives rescans unless the file path is
changed.
You can create smart playlists with the *SQLplaylist* plugin that
contain only tracks that haven't been played yet or maybe a mix of X%
played songs and Y% songs not played yet. You have a lot of options
there.
I use the *Dynamic Playlist* plugin to handle my smart playlists.
