Yes i do know this have been posted atleast two times before, but i can hardly get anyhelp out of it. So back to my post, trying to figure out what i am doing wrong, and why my class wont compile. So i am not really sure what to do, any help would be appreciated thanks :)
This is a bluej assignment, not asking for you to do my school assignment, i just need a "push" in the right direction :)

To me this looks like code that has a lot of missing methods. Also, it looks a lot like what was in the BlueJ programming book.
https://github.com/drblinken/informatica-examples/tree/master/eclipse/BlueJ/src/chapter11/musicplayer for example. Since it's not homework, you should either get that book so you see how it's done or publish the entire code base.

Well i do have the book, but its an assignment that isnt in the book, since its give by our teacher. All the info we get from out teacher is that we should start with fixing t he methods in the "player" class. I could public the entire code base.

commented: Thanks for the added code. I couldn't find methods before. +12

19: The Track class does not have a constructor with no args.
58: you are trying to assign an int to a Track object - obviously not possible
66,77: you are referring to variables that do not exist in that class

what kind of help are you asking for?

commented: No argument here. Assertions indeed fail. +12
