Playing my whole library

Is it possible to play the whole library? And if so, can I use the auto import funtion for it?

Not sure what you mean

You can certainly play all the library - is everything already imported in MC?

Everything is imported in MC.

My Denon AVR-X1300W can only play playlists. So I want to make from my libray a playlist. But with the auto import function.

Have a look at the play with Play Doctor function. It creates a dynamic playlist based on the first track you select.

Ps I don't understand what you mean about your "Denon can only play playlists". You should just use MC to push your music to the Denon..

I like to play the whole library random. Of course I can play music with my Denon song by song, but if I want to play a whole list, than I have to choose a playlist. I can't choose a library. But I must be sure that the auto import function works for playlists.

sorry, but i can't understand what the auto import function has to do with anything

make a playlist with the rule:  Media Type is Audio

all of your music will appear.  push shuffle.  use the playlist wherever.  when you push shuffle again, it'll be like a new playlist next time.

My library change from time to time and with auto import my playlist will change too.

make a playlist with the rule:  Media Type is Audio

all of your music will appear.  push shuffle.  use the playlist wherever.  when you push shuffle again, it'll be like a new playlist next time.

With this function I only get a list of 100 songs, I need much more. But if I can make the playlist on this way, than the question is the same: can it work with auto import?

make a "smartlist", not a "playlist".  There is no track limit

every time the smartlist is closed and opened in MC, it will have all the newly imported audio inside. 

you cannot 'refresh' a list using your Denon, you need to open it in MC proper.

Under Audio, click on the first item, then Edit > Select All, then press Play.

There is no track limit IIRC but a playlist is static unlike a smartlist
