Hey Rafael,

I'll give you a few pointers :)

  1. Ignore the IBAction part of it. Threw me off the first time I read it. In this specific case, the IBAction part of it refers to how it exists in the header file, but we're working in the implementation file.

  2. In the first part of the challenge, it's basically asking you to write out the implementation of the addSong method (you don't have to make it do anything with it in the first part, though-- just start it out) Recall how to define instance methods in the implementation file:

- (returntype)methodName {
    // Things the method does!
}

Good luck! The second part of the challenge is much easier.
