You will need to check that the four parameters entered by the user are blank, so you will do the same as you did before but four times.

To Identify if the User Presses <enter>

You have written a JAVA program that creates a CD object with four instance variables, along with a CDException.java class that helps you validate this input. So far you have been using these classes with my driver classes. Now it is time for you to create a real driver class that will implement an ArrayList of CD objects.
Here is a list of requirements for your LAST program

Read the artist name from the user
Read the album name from the user
Read the number of items in stock
Read the price of the album
Your program should continue to read the CD information from the user until all the entries from
the user for all the fields are blank.
Your program will then print the list all the "valid" CDs entered by the user.

I keep getting errors like this

CDStore.java:12: error: cannot find symbol
Disk d;
^
symbol: class Disk
location: class CDStore

CDStore.java:61: error: cannot find symbol
catch(CDException cde){`
^
symbol: class CDException
location: class CDStore

CDStore.java:67: error: cannot find symbol

for(int i = 0; i < CDShelf.length( ); i++){

^
symbol: method length()
location: variable CDShelf of type ArrayList

CDStore.java:68: error: cannot find symbol
d = (Disk)(CD.get(i));
^
symbol: class Disk
location: class CDStore

CDStore.java:68: error: cannot find symbol
d = (Disk)(CD.get(i));
^
symbol: method get(int)
location: class CD
5 errors

And it looks like that my driver class here is not linking with my exception class. Any help would be much appreciated on how to get rid of these errors!

do you have a 'Disk' class? you're not giving enough information for us to get everything.
