Please make a snapshot of your workspace, and share a link here

Here is the video how to do it

About the problem

You should see files on the left side of workspace, do you see them ?

Please run ls command

In the console write ls command. This command lists all available files in directory

The fastest way

But the fastest way is to make a snapshot and share a link here

The problem goes away on its on if I close and restart the worspace. https://w.trhou.se/7ri0n5npk2

Ok. So let me try to explain how it works.

Easy and proper way

As you can see Craig in his videos compiles only Karaoke.java file, i.e. we don't need to care about all other classes as long as we have compile one that runs everything:

treehouse:~/workspace$ javac Karaoke.java

Compiler checks for all import statements for example com.teamtreehouse.KaraokeMachine, and then on his own find and compiles file KaraokeMachine.java that MUST lie in com/teamtreehouse directory.

The same with other classes.

Now if you really want to compile ONLY one class

You can compile your App class by class. For whatever reason you want to do it I don't know. But Ok I can tell you how. Although I suggest do things like Craig does...

OK.

If you want to compile ONLY KaraokeMachine.java in Treehouse Workspaces, you have to type the following:

treehouse:~/workspace$ javac com/teamtreehouse/KaraokeMachine.java

Analogously works for Song and SongBook.java

Coming back to your original question

Why do you need at all to compile KaraokeMachine and not Karaoke like Craig does ?
