Ready Player Mode

As an Emacs user, I eventually made the leap over to dired as my file manager of choice. Dired has magical things like wdired.

There's a convenient package aptly named openwith, which automatically opens specific files in an external app. With all that, I had no choice (I kid of course) but to go and throw some lines of elisp together and see if I could get to my ideal media experience, and so ready player mode was born… As core features, ready-player-mode has two buttons: one to play from within Emacs and one to open media in the preferred external app.
