Interesting custom-convert.conf file.

It has WMA and MOV entries which is a very unusual mix. Any idea how
/when /why it was created ?

WMA - Microsoft WMA support - do you have WMA file that are played ?

MOV - this is usually Movie but also MP4.  AFAIK it is not longer part
of standard LMS as it was removed in 2011

the 'mov' type would need to be defined for the custom-types.conf to be
used but there is no custom-type.conf file

I am confused by this custom-convert.conf file - it may be a leftover or
it may be needed for some odd files.

I suggest the following.
1. Save a copy of the existing custom-convert.conf 
2. Replace the existing custom-convert.conf by the my one which will
support MP4
3. if Mixcloud works OK, then continue as normal but report any
file/streams which fail to play as they may have required the old
custom-convert.conf

Assuming the file custom-convert.conf.txt is in the squeezeboxserver
directory. Commands to copy old conf file and then copy new one to take
its place.  The "ls -l" before and after is to confirm successful
copying by checking that the conf with ".txt" file  has the same size as
the custom-convert.conf file
*cd /etc/squeezeboxserver
ls -l
cp custom-convert.conf custom-convert.conf.old
cp custom-convert.conf.txt  custom-convert.conf
ls -l
*
