Option to output to stdout only, to reduce clutter in directories when used in scripts #1

Closed bearcatsandor closed 6 years ago

I love this code! It's just what i've been looking for use in my music collection! Except for one thing: Would you add code to enable the output to be directed to stdout only (perhaps by default) instead of a file? That way i could use it in scripts and not have to delete the resulting txt file(s) which are adding extra steps and leaving a mess in my directories.

Sure, that's easy. I will add an option for this.

hmm, do you mean to also print the log with formatting for http://dr.loudness-war.info/ (that is, full contents of dr.txt)? what I did right now is an option which simply disables writing dr.txt.

the most essential data is being printed to stdout in any case, but without formatting and tracks are in undefined order (because they are printed as soon as they are done and in some cases parallel processing is activated)
