-# Description
-
-Write a simple linked list implementation that uses Elements and a List.
-
-The linked list is a fundamental data structure in computer science, often used in the implementation of other data structures.
-They're pervasive in functional programming languages, such as Clojure, Erlang, or Haskell, but far less common in imperative languages such as Ruby or Python.
-
-The simplest kind of linked list is a singly linked list.
-Each element in the list contains data and a "next" field pointing to the next element in the list of elements.
-
-This variant of linked lists is often used to represent sequences or push-down stacks (also called a LIFO stack; Last In, First Out).
-
-As a first take, lets create a singly linked list to contain the range (1..10), and provide functions to reverse a linked list and convert to and from arrays.
-
-When implementing this in a language with built-in linked lists, implement your own abstract data type.

+# Instructions
+
+Write a prototype of the music player application.
+
+For the prototype, each song will simply be represented by a number.
+Given a range of numbers (the song IDs), create a singly linked list.
+
+Given a singly linked list, you should be able to reverse the list to play the songs in the opposite order.

+The linked list is a fundamental data structure in computer science, often used in the implementation of other data structures.
+
+The simplest kind of linked list is a **singly** linked list.
+That means that each element (or "node") contains data, along with something that points to the next node in the list.
+
+If you want to dig deeper into linked lists, check out [this article][intro-linked-list] that explains it using nice drawings.
