Hi,

I don't have much to add to what Julien said. See comments below.

In general, the simpler (as per unix pholosophy) a programme is, the
more accessible it is at the same time. If it's scriptable and/or
accessible over a network connection, it's probably accessible to to
blind people as well.

Which is in fact true even for sighted people, if you have more than,
say 50 samples. Something like:
"Processed X samples in T seconds, with W warnings and E errors"
...would be great.

Or better yet, a --log option which would generate full reports might be
useful, especially if processing a large library.

Yes, I think a lot of people out there need to create SFZ files out of
their sample libraries.
