I've worked on it for a few days. It works great when I comment out the erase function. But it doesn't work when I include the erase function, which I use to remove an element in the playlist vector of type Songs.

Here's the else if statement. The problem is the "playlist.erase(j);". I've done it in everyway possible (ie - playlist.at(j).erase(); and many other variations)

else if(deleteChoice == 'd')
		{
			cin.ignore(10,'\n');
			cout << "Please enter the exact song name you would like to delete: ";
			getline(cin, songDelete);
			for (int j = 0; j < playlist.size(); j++)
			{
				if(songDelete == playlist.at(j).getSongName())
				{
					playlist.erase(j);
					cout << "The song has been deleted." << endl;
					flag = false;
					break;
				}
			}
			if(flag == true)
			{
				cout << "Song not found. Please try again." << endl;
				continue;
			}
		}

Here's the full function if that helps:

void Songs::addSongLibrary(vector<Songs> &library, vector<Songs> &playlist)
{
	char choosePlaylist;
	cin.ignore(10000,'\n');
	cout << "Please enter song name: ";

	cout << "Please enter artist name: ";
	getline(cin, artistName);
	cout << "Please enter album name: ";
	getline(cin, albumName);
	cout << "Please enter length of song in seconds: ";
	cin >> playTime;
	while(true)
	{

		{
			cout << "Time must be in seconds. ";
			cin.clear();
			cin.ignore(1000,'\n');
		}
		else if(playTime < 0)
		{
			cout << "Seconds cannot be negative. ";
			cin.clear();

	}

		}

		{

		else if(cin.fail())
		{
			cout << "Rating can only be the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. ";
			cin.clear();
			cin.ignore(1000,'\n');
		}
		else if(starRating < 1 || starRating > 5)
		{
			cout << "Rating must be between 1 and 5. ";
			cin.clear();
			cin.ignore(1000,'\n');
		}

	cin >> starRating;
	}

This is the last bug in the program. Thanks so much.

These are the 2 overloaded declarations of erase in vector:

iterator erase( iterator loc );
iterator erase( iterator start, iterator end );

Both of them take an iterator as argument and not int
