  **Your code so far**


// Setup

The fundamental mistake is, that you are not updating or even accessing the object.
E.g. you are creating the variable tracks but you should create tracks as a property of the object from the function input.

Another thing that kind of results from this misunderstanding is, that you check if the id hasOwnProperty,… and so on, when in fact you should access the key of the object with the name of the value stored in the id variable.

Apart from these two things, everything else is perfect.

Note: When using something like object.id you are looking for a key with the name of ‘id’. If you want to instead look for a key with the value of the variable, use bracket notation.
