help with linked lists and file i/o

for a school compsci assignment my class was asked to make a simple database program to keep track of a user's mp3 collection. the program must be able to read a list of mp3s from a file, save the list to a file, sort the list, add songs, remove songs, and whatever other things i can come up with. i decided to use linked lists and for the most part it was working fine. my problem however, comes when reading and writing to a file.

when trying to load a file, it gets stuck inside the loop (never reaching the iFile.eof() in order to exit). i can't figure out what's wrong.

i've attached the entire source so you can try to understand what's going on, but the loadList() function is the focus of my problem:

Code:

void loadList()
{
	char file [40];
	char junk [40];
	newList(); // to delete any songs already loaded
	cout << "Input the filename of the playlist to be loaded:\n";
	cin.getline (file, 40,'\n');
		
	ifstream iFile (file);
	
	if (!iFile.is_open())
	{
		cout << "You wreckless fool of a Took! That file doesn't exist!\n";
		return;
	}

	root = new mp3t;
	position = root;
	position->prev = NULL;
	position->next = NULL;

	iFile.getline (position->title,40, '\n');
	iFile.getline (position->artist, 40, '\n');
	iFile.getline (position->filename, 40, '\n');
	iFile >> position->filesize;
	iFile >> position->length;
	iFile >> position->year;
	iFile.getline (junk, 40, '\n');
	
	while (!iFile.eof())
	{
		position->next = new mp3t;
		position->next->prev = position;
		position = position->next;
		position->next = NULL;
		
		iFile.getline (junk, 40, '\n');
		iFile.getline (position->title, 40, '\n');
		iFile.getline (position->artist, 40, '\n');
		iFile.getline (position->filename, 40, '\n');
		iFile >> position->filesize;
		iFile >> position->length;
		iFile >> position->year;
		iFile.getline (junk, 40, '\n');
	}	
	iFile.close();	
}

and here's the text file to load:
blah blah blah!
nobody cares
its a file.mp3
213465
100001
1999
blah blah blah!2
nobody cares2
its a file.mp32
213465212
100001212
1999212
blah blah blah!3
nobody cares3
its a file.mp33
213465213
100001213
1999213

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

PS, you can just ignore the humour, it's pointless right now, but once the program works i know the teacher will like it (besides, i can't help it)

ok, thanks for the help everyone

if any of the 10 people who bothered to read this are interested, it turns out the idiot who sits next to me added a semicolon after the while statement which somehow screwed up the rest of the program. very weird... , but at least it works now.
