right click over the main music folder and select "recurse"
you´ll see the results by yourself... :))

If you 'recurse' a directory, you will see all it's files, plus the files from all that directory's subdirectories :)

the nice thing about recurse is if you have subfolders in your collection.

say u have a folder called "DANCE"
and in that folder you have subfolders:
"80's DANCE"
"90s DANCE"
"NEW DANCE"
"HOUSE"
"TRANCE"
etc
(just an example, some would not put the last 2 in a dance folder..lol)

now, u can go to each of those SUBFOLDERS, and say only see 90's dance if u choose that.

But if you want to see ALL dance, choose RECURSE at the top folder ("DANCE") and that will show the files in ALL subfolders of that top folder.

Do not use recurse on your MAIN folder (where your whole music collection is) because that will take a long time, and if at a gig, that can be a problem ;)
