Hi,
Im tryin to write this code. The music library suppused to contain the following information for each song:
id (sequence of numbers and/or letters, without spaces)
title (may contain spaces in it)
artist (may contain spaces in it)
size (in Megabytes, could have fractional parts)
plays (number of times the song has been played, a whole number)
rating (a value between 1 and 5, the number of stars in the rating, a whole number)
and the output should be like :
Menu

1. Display Songs sorted by title
2. Display Songs sorted by rating
3. Lookup title and artist by ID
4. Lookup ID by title and artist
5. Quit the Program

Enter your choice: 1

So how do you propose to tell the difference between
- a song titled "Happy Pharrell" by an artist called "Williams", and
- a song titled "Happy" by "Pharrell Williams"

Also, you need to start using functions.
Your main should look something like this.

int main ( ) {
    vector<music> database;
    readData(database,"library.txt");
    do {
        displayMenu();
        choice = readChoice();
        switch ( choice ) {
            case 1:
                displaySongsByTitle(database);
                break;
            // ditto other cases, each is a 1-line call to a function.
        }
    } while ( choice != 5 );
}

Thank you, but the thing is we havent study vectors so i have no idea how to use that, and also im really confused how to fix the part you mentioned :(

You can still do the same thing with arrays.

Can you put library.txt on a share site. Something which actually preserves the internal format of the text file.

the library is:

Right, that's a lot clearer.

Things like this.

getline(fin,a.id);
getline(fin,a.title);
getline(fin,a.artist);
string temp
getline(fin,temp);
// parse temp into 's', 'plays', 'rating' members
