I'm getting an error thats sayin it's an array out of index but I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I have commented the line that Visual Studio has highlighted as the error. Thanks for any advice.

A first chance exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in Lab3.exe An unhandled exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in Lab3.exe Additional information: Index was outside the bounds of the array. The program '[9140] Lab3.vshost.exe: Managed (v4.0.30319)' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

class Program
{
    private const int MAX_MEDIA_OBJECTS = 100; // Max number of array objects
    private int mediaCount = 0; // Counter to keep track of amount of media in Data.txt

    private Media[] media = new Media[MAX_MEDIA_OBJECTS];

    private Song[] songs = new Song[MAX_MEDIA_OBJECTS];
