Development

Preamble

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.

Key aims

  • Advanced MP3 functionality to complement the use of the N900 as a mobile music player, including MP3 taggers, renamers, normalisers, file format converters etc.

Specifications

Disk image

The disk image has been enlarged to 4GB in size (well, 4GB minus one byte), which is the largest file that will fit on a FAT32 filesystem, and converted (well, copied over) to the ext4 filesystem. 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.
