Begineer, Open a file of songs Must ask the user for a fil

Must ask the user for a filename
Assume the file is in the local directory (i.e. no drive letters or folders)
Read the file into an array (same array as Create a new list of songs)
Must tell the user if the filename does not exist OR if the file has been successfully read
Return to the main menu after telling the user what happened
