You missed filling out the “Tell us what’s happening” section, so we don’t know what you’re asking

You somehow inverted what you’re meant to be doing

Objects are declared using braces - { and }
Arrays are declared using square brackets - [ and ]

So what you’ve tried to do here is make an object with array elements (but using invalid syntax so it wouldn’t work)

What you want to be doing is making an array of objects, so var music = [ { ...etc }, { ...etc} ]
