Says, I'm sure, someone who never ran the script with --help and/or 
never took the time to figure out how to run it so that it does what he 
wants.  Of course, I'm assuming this /only/ because the script does 
exactly what its name claims (and not because I'm whining because I'm 
offended).  The script returns information about upcoming recordings--so 
I don't see where disappointment comes into play.

If, however, you actually have some constructive criticism, I may 
actually be able to help.
