Description

It would be nice if what is sent to stdout could be also directly saved to a file (e.g. with the same name as the audio file, .out.txt as extension) I know that that there are redirection and tee and that this could be easily achieved without a specific option, but having it as an option would be really useful.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the main entry point (main.cpp) to understand how command line arguments are parsed and how output is currently sent to stdout. Then implement a new flag (e.g., output file) that writes the same output to a file.
