Yep, I was just about to post this. I tried to do something similar way back when I was writing my iTunes shell script and it's just not possible.

iTunes can only play two things, a playlist or a single track; you cannot feed it a list of tracks and expect it to do anything with it.

And at least at the time, the process of creating a playlist, selecting the playlist, playing the playlist, and then deleting the playlist was too cumbersome for my uses.
