Hmm, I'd rather keep the Qt (not QT) and drop the Linux/Windows (which I'd rather see being MS Windows, btw). The reason is that it will probably run on any Qt platform, at the very least I'd expect it to run on *BSD (possibly including MacOS X) which are also going to be kernels in Debian. Maybe note that it is currently($DATE) only tested on win32 and GNU/Linux. However, not even the multiplatform capabilities are really a first class property of the program but rather an interesting part of the implementation, or? just my 2 cents..

I think that the slashes in the description detract from the readability. I know they're there for emphasis, but I don't think it's really that important to emphasise that phrase. store it a small file should be store it in a small file. And how do you know it will be small? XML isn't particularly space-conscious, and peoples' MP3 collections tend to be fairly comprehensive - I'd remove the word small there.

I now know exactly what it does, and (if I was looking for a program to do that) would pick cdcat straight up.
