I can not get SongBook.java to compile.

This is my second attempt. I started over with a new workbook and still every time I run javac SongBook.java I receive the error "can not find symbol" that points at each location that refers to the Song class.

Here is the SongBook Class 

package com.teamtreehouse.model;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;


public class SongBook {
  private List<Song> mSongs;

  public SongBook(){
    mSongs = new ArrayList<Song>();
  }

  public void addSong(Song song){
    mSongs.add(song);
  }

  public int getSongCount(){
    return mSongs.size();    
  }

}

And here is the Song class

package com.teamtreehouse.model;

public class Song{
  private String mArtist;
  private String mTitle;
  private String mVideoUrl;

  public Song(String artist, String title, String videoUrl){
    mArtist = artist;
    mTitle = title;
    mVideoUrl = videoUrl;
  }

  public String getArtist(){
    return mArtist;
  }

  public String getTitle(){
    return mTitle;
  }

  public String getVideoUrl(){
    return mVideoUrl;
  }
  @Override
  public String toString(){
    return String.format("Song: %s by %s", mTitle, mArtist);
  }
}

Hi Brooks, I can't see a Song class, only two identical SongBook classes.

So, would there be a reason this would fail if I created my file structure with from the terminal rather than right-clicking on the window? I redid it and that is the only thing I did differently and it works now.
