How do I get my karaoke program to read the txt file on NetBeans?

Right now, my entire program is working perfectly except that the Karaoke class doesn't seem to be able to find the txt file I created with the 15 songs in it. I've tried putting the txt file in with the karaoke package, a test package, and in the source code. None of those have worked. Any ideas as to what else I could try or what I'm doing wrong?

You have to manually go the directory, were your netbeans project is saved. Your songs.txt file should be located in the "src" folder. You copy it and paste it one level up, meaning that it should be located in the "Karaoke" folder (where also the "src", "test", "nbproject", ... folders are located). After that your program should work fine.
