I prefer to group all MP3tag related files together in ONE dir (tree).
So I need a way to put the "MP3tag settings" folder into a subfolder of the MP3tag base installation directory.
How can I tell MP3tag to search there instead of the current default settings folder
C:\Users\M\AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag
?
