First edit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs so as to change the music folder to the path of the desired folder.

You can use the following command:

vi ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

For example, if your music resides in /home/user/Dropbox/music you will change the file to look like this:

XDG_MUSIC_DIR=$HOME/Dropbox/music

Execute

xdg-user-dirs-update --force
