Aims and origins
This image starts from rcolistete's "wheezy" Scientific image (thanks!); this aims to be a bells-and-whistles image (warning: possible bloatware) with lots of new multimedia software thrown in. In particular, this includes MP3 tagging and renaming software, audio file format converters, normaliser, audio editor and a variety of MP3 players and organisers.
Image specifications
Disk image
The image has been enlarged to an ext4 image of 4GB in size (well, 4GB minus one byte), which is the largest file that will fit on a FAT32 filesystem. If you need a larger root filesystem than that, you'll have to use a dedicated partition. The use of ext4 means that you will require a relatively recent kernel-power & CSSU to mount and use the image, but it does offer slight performance advantages over ext3.
