in System Settings -> Account Details -> Paths their is a music setting... it'd be nice if a fresh run could attempt to detect this (it seems amarok does now )

bonus points if it can be used to change that path... ( but that's not really necessary and if it seems to create messy ui don't do that part )

KDE, GNOME, XFCE, and others use the XDG Base Directory Specification, which should make this kind of things less complicated. Using the XDG specs would benefit the majority of the Linux and BSD distributions.

the config file is located here: ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

XDG_MUSIC_DIR is the needed variable.
