My Addition to the Karaoke Application

This isn't really a question. I thought that I would just share some minor code additions to the exercise and provide some food for thought.

liked the idea of the Karaoke application, but it didn't make much sense to me why you would enter URLs for songs and that information not be actionable so I added some code to start the video playing in the system's default browser. I'll probably play around with this a bit more, but I just wanted to share what I had.
