Having queried why anyone would want to have such a large playlist I have realised that I do exactly this, but for different reasons.
I am a big user of iTunes dynamic playlists, usually involving play statistics. e.g. "Albums not yet played" or "Duke Ellington albums not played recently"
These playlists are displayed by album, not by track, and I usually just play an album from them. Never play randomly.
iTunes dynamic playlists are the main reason I have never considered ROON. If ROON ever supports them I will give it a try.
Incidentally my "Albums Not Yet Played" is currently 223 days long. They have actually all been played but a lot of them haven't played for a while. They were played back when I used a squeezebox which does not update the statistics.

Roon has a similar functionality by way of 'Focus' filters, which can then be bookmarked and recalled - all are dynamic. Not sure if it has all the options you need, but the feature's been there a while.
A bit out of date, but a forum topic about it here: https://community.roonlabs.com/t/how-do-...focus/5651
Thanks for this but I should have said that I would also need ROON to be able to import from iTunes the dynamic playlists AND the play statistics (time of last play and play count)
