First off, there is actually a section on how to revert to DPL v2.+ and
not auto-update to DPL v3+ in the future. Just in case. BTW if you did a
*wipe* (=clear) & rescan (not simply scan for new & changed files)
-after- you'd renamed your files your database should be ok.

And yes, DPL adds "only" a max. of 15 new tracks *by default* but *you
can change that number* on the plugin's settings page (up to 50 tracks),
it's actually the first setting.
Customskip used to be closer tied to DPL but DPL playlists can still
enable customskip filters even though the goal would be to filter out
unwanted tracks etc. in the SQL queries right away. 

The built-in DPL lists are just a starting point. The real power of DPL
is that you can create tailor-made dynamic playlists (within what SQLite
allows) that should give you exactly what you want. And since you can
filter/exclude anything unwanted from the very start you won't even need
CustomSkip.
Since DPL v3+ you can use these user-provided custom dynamic playlists
-directly- in DPL, without any other plugin like SQLPlayList or
TrackStat.

Since this would be a very specific playlist tailored to your personal
needs I'd obviously not add it to the built-in playlists. 
But I could help you create it by posting the sql playlist definition of
such a dynamic playlist here so you can test it. But I need to know all
the parameters.

So it's 
- an *album* playlist,
- never played before: -entire- album never played before or just
-containing 1 or more tracks- never played before?
- *excluding albums from which genres?*
- no min. track duration?
- for all albums or only those with a minium number of tracks in it?
(thereby excluding "albums" like CD singles with only 2 tracks for
example)
- in album order or randomly ordered?
...

If you want to give this a try please list all the parameters you can
think of incl. what CustomSkip would have skipped.
Otherwise if you prefer to revert to DPL 2.x please visit the github
page for more information on how to do that.
