I was envisaging a disabled flag that would essentially make a song
disappear from the db (it can't really disappear, or it would just
reappear at the next rescan).  Once disabled, it wouldn't play as part
of albums, random mixes etc.  Not sure how I'd implement this. 
Possibly mark disabled tracks in an obvious way when they are shown in
browse music and stop them being added to playlists.  That way, if you
browsed to an album you'd see the disabled tracks, but they wouldn't
get played if you added the album.

It sounds like you'd want another flag - disable in random mixes.   
This would probably have to be specific to RandomMix.  Making it work
with shuffle would be harder, although I suppose you could change the
add songs logic to honour the flag if the playlist is already
shuffled.
