What are you inputting into the program.

Do you realize that the extraction operator>> will only accept a single "word"?

It's probably because you are entering more than a single word for artist and/or song, in which case you will need getline() instead of cin
againtry (2313)
Here's a start to a flood of possible improvements and simplifications. Next step a switch, then on to arrays lists or vectors. Could even have a go-around to try again where wrong choices are made, or just to check another item.
