Forgive me if someone suggested this before, but your program would look cleaner and operate more efficiently with some SELECT...CASE as a logic statement.

Code:

SELECT CASE variable
CASE 1
    'blah
    'more blah
CASE 2, 4, 6
   'blah blah blah
CASE 9 TO 15
   'blah
   'blah blah
   'blah blah blah
CASE IS < 15, "aaron" to "zxylum"
   'blah blah blah
CASE ELSE
   'bloopity blah blah blah
END SELECT

Also, since you're spaghetti coding different assignments based on value, try this:

Code:

DIM artists (1 to numberofartists)
DIM albums(1 to numberofalbums)

FOR x = 1 to numberofartists
  READ artists(x)
NEXT x

FOR x = 1 to numberofalbums
  READ albums(x)
NEXT x

INPUT "Make a selection", indexvalue
artist$ = artists(indexvalue)
album$ = albums(indexvalue)

DATA "artist", "artist1", "artist2"
DATA "album", "album1", "album2"

It'll make the code itself a whole lot less confusing if you only hardcode what you need to.
