Trying to add a "Like" count for a song with AngularJS

Currently off the EmberJS wagon for now, and checking out AngularJS. I was trying to create a list of song titles with a "Like" link next to them. When you click on "Like" a count for the number of likes is listed next to the song title. Here's my jsfiddle and thanks for your help! http://jsfiddle.net/stevenng/SpQH5/7/

Making your $scope.like function do this will work (http://jsfiddle.net/SpQH5/9/):

$scope.like = function (song) {
    song.like += 1;
};

Due to Angular's data-binding {{song.like}} is automatically updated in the DOM when song.like is incremented.

Note you can also accomplish this without a scope function by incrementing song.like in the ng-click directly like in this fiddle:

  <div class="song" ng-repeat="song in songs">
    <a href="#" ng-click="song.like = song.like + 1">like</a> ({{song.like}}) 
    <h3>{{song.title}}</h3>
  </div>
