You keep asking about the minidlna.conf file. Have you been hand-editing it (other that Tim's suggested change to enable logging)?
This all should work out of the box and always has on the dozens of players I've spun up during testing since the feature was added .
The default minidlna.conf settings tells miniDLNA to scan /var/lib/mpd/music and all its subdirectories for audio files only.
You mention that all your tracks are on a USB drive. The symlink /var/lib/mpd/music/USB points to the mount point /media. You should see your drive mounted at /media/<drive name>. Is it there? If it isn't then miniDLNA has nothing to scan. If it is, then perhaps there is something in your directories which is inhibiting the scan (strictly conjecture based on MPD's known behavior. I have to do my homework to find out more about miniDLNA's inner workings. )
FYI, once miniDLNA has completed its scan, the "Media scan" message goes away.
