The code works on Windows or MacOS as well. I just provided the build instructions
for Linux to keep it short. Actually, the instructions can almost applied 1:1
on MacOS, just the way the id3tag library installed is different.

On MacOS, instead of "sudo apt-get install libid3tag0-dev", type:

	sudo port install libid3tag

You may also need to install the port wget, since MacOS X doesn't ship it, thus:

	sudo port install wget

The rest of the instructions are the same on MacOS. And you can even transfer
MP3 files to your HiMD even if it doesn't support it. You just won't be able
to play them back. But you can, after having transferred them onto the HiMD,
transfer them back with QHiMDTransfer and check if they still play back
with VLC or iTunes.
