-SMPlayer intends to be a complete front-end for MPlayer, from
-basic features like playing videos, DVDs, and VCDs to more
-advanced features like support for MPlayer filters and more.
+SMPlayer is a free media player with built-in codecs that can play
+virtually all video and audio formats. It doesn't need any external
+codecs. Just install SMPlayer and you'll be able to play all formats
+without the hassle to find and install codec packs.
+
+SMPlayer is a graphical user interface (GUI) for MPlayer, which is
+capable of playing almost all known video and audio formats. But apart
+from providing access for the most common and useful options of MPlayer,
+SMPlayer adds other interesting features like the possibility to play
+Youtube videos or download subtitles.
+
+One of the most interesting features of SMPlayer: it remembers the
+settings of all files you play. So you start to watch a movie but you
+have to leave... don't worry, when you open that movie again it will
+be resumed at the same point you left it, and with the same settings:
+audio track, subtitles, volume.
