The demo seems to be down at the moment so I can't see, why would you need to download anything if that is the case?
(Shameless plug: I made http://playlistful.com/about which is similar to this, but you can't listen to the music on more than device at the same time. That's a feature I really want to add, but I can't get my head around keeping the songs in sync.)

Otto is not yet packaged together as a singular application or installation package for Linux like it is on OSX. Therefore Linux installation is fraught with peril, especially when it comes to getting a correctly compiled version of MPD installed.
