There is no 100% certain place that it should be.
Some people do not like having LMS (or the system it is running on) being able to write to the place where the music is stored to reduce the possibility of something going horribly wrong and a carefully created (but not backed up) collection gets destroyed (at least I assume that is the reason). Also - if the music is stored on a NAS and LMS is running somewhere else (e.g. RPi) then having the cache over a network link may well make things slower. Having the cache on the local SD card where LMS is booted is the default for pCP so is probably how it is set for many installations. The fear there is that either the SD card is too small to hold the database files that LMS uses (could easily be multiple GB when there is a lot of artwork/artists along with plugins that fetch and store extra info) or that having frequent writes to the SD card (LMS writes data back to the card for logging and current playlist) might reduce the lifetime of the card.
