 DisOrder
 ========
 
-This program is used to play random and chosen tracks from a collection of
-digital audio files (for instance MP3 and OGG files).  If you just set it going
-it plays random tracks from your collection, but you can also ask for specific
-tracks to be played, either via a command line program or a web interface, and
-you can 'scratch' the current track.
+DisOrder is a multi-user software jukebox.
+   * It can play either selected tracks or pick tracks at random.
+   * It supports OGG, MP3, FLAC and WAV files, and can be configured to support
+     anything you can supply a player for (up to a point).
+   * It supports both ALSA and OSS and can also broadcast an RTP stream over a
+     LAN; a player for the latter is included.
+   * Tracks may be selected either via a hierarchical interface or by a fast
+     word search.
+   * It has a web interface (allowing access from graphical web browsers) and a
+     GTK+ interface that runs on Linux and Mac systems.
+   * Playing tracks can be paused or cancelled ("scratched").
