1. what do you not exactly understand.
2. I recommend using a more flexible collection other than an array, maybe a vector, to store your cd records. That way when ever you can do:

//add records to collection
Vector<Cd> db= new Vector();
db.add(new Cd("Paul Weller", "White Pony", "Hard Rock", 2008, 21));
db.add(new Cd("Bodyrox and Luciana", "What Planet You On", "Rock", 2008, 6));
db.add(new Cd("Rem", "Accelerate", "Rock", 2008, 11));
db.add(new Cd("Leona Lewis", "Spirit", "Pop", 2008, 14));

//print db
for(int i= 0; i< db.size();i++)
    db.get(i).printarray();

Try this code and see how it works for you

import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Vector;
import java.io.*;
import java.io.IOException;

// new class. all the details of the CD are declared and initialised.
class Cd
{
   public String ArtistName; 
   public String CdName; 
   public String Genre; 
   public int ReleasedDate; 
   public int NoOfTracks;

   // Ask the user to input the various details that makeup the Music CD
   public Cd ()
   {
      ArtistName = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("Enter The Artist's Name : ");
      CdName = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter The Cd Name :");
      Genre = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter The Music Genre :");
      ReleasedDate = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter The ReleasedDate :"));
      NoOfTracks = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter The Number Of Tracks :"));
   }

   public Cd (String a, String c, String g, int y, int n)
   {

      ArtistName = a; 
      CdName = c; 
      Genre = g; 
      ReleasedDate = y;
      NoOfTracks = n;
   }

   public void printcd ()
   {
      String print = "Artist: " + ArtistName + " Cd: " + CdName + " Genre: " + Genre + " Year: " + ReleasedDate + " Tracks: " + NoOfTracks;

      System.out.println(print);
   }
 
   public void printarray ()
   {
      String array = "Artist: " + ArtistName + " Cd: " + CdName + " Genre: " + Genre + " Year: " + ReleasedDate + " Tracks: " + NoOfTracks;

want exactly same problem but without using arraylist,linked list,GUI

problem should 

Load file
Create array of CDs

Sort CDs        ( artist,title,label,year,length)
Writing the sorted array to a file

exactly the same but without ...
that means it is not exactly the same. since you are using two separate datastructures, it isn't even nearly the same.
