All, I'm probably to close to the problem to see what I'm doing wrong. Essentially it looks like I’m overwriting all the indexes with the last entry. Being new to Object-C and having an instructor who tells you to read a chapter but never provides lecture to explain the chapter, simple problems tend to become big ones when you don't know the basics. Any guidance is appreciated. /r Richard

mySong is a pointer, and you're making every item in songArray use that pointer so at the end they all point to the same memory location and that contains the last object added. You need to reallocate the pointer:

int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    
    
    NSMutableArray *songArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
    
    NSArray *songArtist = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Derek and the Dominos", @"Simon and Garfunkel",@"The Beatles",@"Elton John",@"James Brown",@"The Kinks",@"Creedence Clearwater Revival",@"James Taylor",@"Black Sabbath",@"Free", nil];
    
    NSArray *songName = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Layla",@"Bridge Over Troubled Water",@"Let It Be",@"Your Song",@"Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine",@"Lola",@"Who'll Stop the Rain",@"Fire and Rain",@"Paranoid",@"All Right Now", nil];
    
    for (int x=0; x<10; x++) {
        Song *mySong = [[Song alloc] init];
     
        mySong.name = [songArtist objectAtIndex:x];
        mySong.title = [songName objectAtIndex:x];
        [songArray addObject:mySong];
        NSLog(@"#%i: A____Artist: %@  Title: %@",x+1, [[songArray objectAtIndex:x]name], [[songArray objectAtIndex:x]title]);
    }
    NSLog(@"\n");
    for (int x=0; x<10; x++) {
        NSLog(@"#%i: Artist: %@  Title: %@",x+1, [[songArray objectAtIndex:x]name], [[songArray objectAtIndex:x]title]);
    }
    
    [pool drain];
    return 0;
}
