-There is "Never Play" field for tracks/albums (in Music Info-windows
Ratings-tab) but apparently random play does not regognise this -> I
emailed Colby about this. 
As I understand the Never Play field value for CD's is read from players
when searching for disk's, so it would make sense for CDJ random play to
use this data. I believe we see this done soon...

-What's stopping you ?? Just stop the playlist play(= it is not playing)
and right click on item ;-) <a joke> 
-But seriously, I for one do not support this idea. IMHO : 
 There is reason to juggle with multiple playlists at once, you can just
as easily juggle multiple lists one at time with save/load playlist.

OR (I'm not 100% sure but,) I think you can create script's & user
command buttons to add currently selected item to predetermined playlist
with one click. 

First add User01 button and then add script to it : load playlist
xxxx1.pla, add selected item to playlist, save playlist xxxx1.pla. Then
make as many buttons as you want (<99).
 
Of course the play will stop for second IF current track in mp3, but you
can do A LOT with scripts
