Django is a free and open-source web application framework written in Python. It is used for rapid web development and clean, pragmatic design. It is built by experienced developers to make repetitive tasks easier, so you can focus on writing apps instead of reinventing the wheel. This course teaches Django for beginning and intermediate level learners. The course includes a hands-on learning experience with the help of interactive widgets. At the end of the course, you will have created a project in Django that can be used in your portfolio.

# Explanation
Previously, we were using the `my_songs` and `my_playlists` lists to store information regarding songs and playlists. But now we have learned how to manipulate the database using models. Therefore, we are getting rid of the dictionaries. You were tasked with creating the instances of the songs and playlists inside the `about` view. Remember, in a real-life application, we would hardly ever do something like this, but this problem is just for practice. We made the following modifications:

- **At line #10**, we are importing our `Song` and `Playlist` models.

- **At lines #43 to #51**, we are creating **Song** and **Playlist** objects in a `try` block. In case they already exist, the exception will be handled in the `except` block. The values being used correspond to the dictionaries we were previously using. 

- **At lines #54 to #61**, we are storing the newly created instances of `Song` and `Playlist` in our database using the `save()` method. 

> **Test Yourself:** In a real-life application, you would probably create a form that would insert songs and playlists into the database. Try implementing this feature yourself and discuss the solution in the community Discussion forum (the link can be found in the footer of the lesson).


Let's review the solution for how to insert songs and playlists.
