Good of you to post only relevant code and relevant error messages, although in the future it would help if you correlate the line(s) referred to in the error message to the code posted, because the line numbers will likely be different.

In this case I suspect the problem is that year and price are declared as type int and float but getline() can only be used with C style strings or STL string objects. You should either use >> to get the input for those variables or input them into a holding variable of type string and then convert them to numerical values if you want with an istringstream or some other (less desirable) convention.

Note: If you elect to use >> to input the variables you should know there is a classic run time bug waiting to happen because of the difference between how >> and getline() handle the terminating char. This bug only happens if you combine >> and getline() in the same program, call >> sometime in the program before you call getline() and don't clear the input buffer before callig getline(). Once you've encountered it and know what it's about you can avoid it if you prefer to mix the input methods.
