Q: Handling grey stars
-

The first two work by setting a manual rating of 1% which displays as no stars and should work properly with your smart playlists. The second pair restore the default behaviour. You'll still likely have to do some management as new items are added to your library, but it might make it easier.

Save them in User/Library/iTunes/Scripts with their respective filenames and you can access them from the iTunes menu bar.
