Ooh, I like this one better. I imagine it's what you use in
tune-finder, am I right? It give a nice compact image (unlike convert,
which makes too much whitespace), and quite small files as well (reduced
by about a factor of 10).
These should get me started with my project quite nicely.
Thanks to all!
