Hi Joshua

From your snapshot I learned that you have mistake in naming your KaraokeMachine java file. You name it KarokeMachine.java instead of KaraokeMachine.java. Therefore when you call new KaraokeMachine() from your Karaoke class the compiler cannot find it and failed to compile it. Please rename it to KaraokeMachine.java and you will be okay.

I hope this can help a little.

javac: file not found: KaraokeMachine.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
