Why focus on that "wizard" or dialog when the base emms configuration
could use some simplification?

The two main ways of configuration in Emacs are either manual
configuration with setq or setopt preferably with use-package (Emacs
29+) or the custom interface.

The configuration should be simple enough that selecting a profile with
either should be good enough.

Posting to emms-help would be good then, there wasn't a post in that
list.
