life of a thread

Ben Deitch if I understand your lectures correctly, we're newing a thread for every song in the playlist. And each thread in itself is a service where that particular song gets downloaded. It's important that we end the service once that song is downloaded, so what happens to that thread that was housing the service? We call a thread.start() but we never call it to stop.
