LMS - variable locations of (custom-)convert.conf !?!?

Hi.

I'm in the process of settings up LMS on ya RPi4. I do it from scratch. Building CPAN asf.

I have a question.

The (custom-)convert.conf files are spread all over the place on different OS installations.

The location can not be chosen via "default" locations as it seems.
I basically can not tell LMS where to look for the files at startup. LMS looks only in the lms root-directory (usually /usr/share/"lms") by default.

Ubuntu and others leave the convert files at /etc/squeezeboxserver, pCP under its LMS rootdir /usr/local/slimserver/ ( which is not nice) , asf.

I am wondering if a user accessible location, which already exists, wouldn't be a much better choice for at least
the custom.convert.conf??

I'd prefer to go for /var/lib/"lms"/prefs . To me that looks much better than above examples. It also wouldn't need a separate LMS backup procedure.

What I don't know:

How can I configure such a location?
Can I make LMS scan that location as default-location for a custom-convert.conf ?


Thx.
