puts Album.find(1).tracks.length
puts Album.find(2).tracks.length

puts Album.find_by_title('Sticky Fingers').title
puts Track.find_by_title('Fool To Cry').album_id

Thx bro

handy.

very nice. You could change the last lines to:

Album.find_by_title('Sticky Fingers').tracks.each do |t|
  puts "#{t.title}"
end
puts Track.find_by_title('Fool To Cry').album.title
