Essentially there needs to be a pop up window with a search bar and button. The user should be able to put in an artist name and have the search results from the apple itunes api show up in a nice grid with information like album, song, artist...

I have already spent time on this, but am getting stuck on the java swing parts. I don't believe java swing is the best program for creating complex guis. I'm guessing problems like this won't be that applicable in the workforce. I have included my java classes below for reference. My code does not work fully, but is a start. google drive link since it was too long to post here
