MC uses an internal database (library) to keep track of your files. It doesn't matter where the files are stored but MC needs to locate them and analyze them to build the library. This can be automatic or manual. You can set which folders to watch or exclude and which file types to import. See Import.
Your machine will be busy during import, so things may seem a little slow. This will change when the import finishes.
Audio Configuration
Under Tools/Options/Audio, you can set the sound device you wish to use, the Audio Output Modes, and other options. Start with DirectSound, but once that's working well, consider switching to ASIO or WASAPI for better quality.
If you use a USB DAC (Digital Analog Convertor), please visit the wiki topic on DAC Settings.
