I made a program that stores a collection of CDs. This collection is entered in a BinarySearchTree and contains the Artist, Album, favorite song, track numbers, and cost of cd. The inorder traversal works to print everything in the tree, and the cdPrintGroup method prints all the Artists(aka groups), but when I try and insert or delete, I get nothing. Inserting doesn't work, and when I do the delete method from the BinarySearchTree class, it states I can't delete an empty tree. How can that be if the inorderTraversal method works?

Thanks for your time.
