My wife and I share the same iTunes music library and while most of our music taste overlap, there is the wayward song or artist that she listens to that I can't stand.
Of course, I only notice that an artist or song has snuck onto my iPhone while I'm actually listening to my iPhone. I used to tell myself to remember to remove the offending song the next time I synced the device, but then I'd always forget.
That's when I realized I could use star ratings to quickly mark songs I don't want on the iPhone while I'm on the go, and then remove them when I finally sync my device. Now, I never actually use Star Ratings, so this works out well to weed out the bad from the good. But, even if you do utilize them to categorize your favorite songs you can still use this method, though you'll lose all of your one-star tracks.
Here is how I solve my problem:

This process can also be used with my app called "My Hit Radio" to play your songs once they are on your device. By default, it excludes 1 star songs in the playlist, whether or not you sync them. The best part is that it plays the songs back based on the ratings and when you last heard them. It's free until Saturday, then after that you can download "My Hit Radio Free" to try it out
