calling the init instance

Hello, I'm doing everything correctly by now with he videos, but I can't understand yet why we use the init method, what good does it do? and why not just create the NSObjects without this if block?

Init method is used to allocate and initiate the object with all those playlist information (artists name, titles, musics etc) at the time that you call it. So you do not have to add it later.
