Exception in thread "main" in the Karaoke project

After I enter a new song into the song book, I get this error..

Exception in thread "main" java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException: Conversion = '% '
at java.util.Formatter.checkText(Formatter.java:2579)
at java.util.Formatter.parse(Formatter.java:2565)
at java.util.Formatter.format(Formatter.java:2501)
at java.io.PrintStream.format(PrintStream.java:970)
at java.io.PrintStream.printf(PrintStream.java:871)
at com.teamtreehouse.KaraokeMachine.run(KaraokeMachine.java:48)
at Karaoke.main(Karaoke.java:10)

What I believe to be happening is that the toString() method is not being applied on line 48 of KaraokeMachine.java. I've gone through line-by-line and can't find any typos or missing code. For now, I'm going to comment that line out so I can continue the lesson, but this will bug me until I fix it. Any ideas?
