Your assignment of one CD only contains data for one cd_track; the cd
record contains a new_cd_track (how, I'm not sure; I would expect
you'd have to use a type in the declaration, not a variable, but hey,
whatever works), and a new_cd_track is an array of 3 cd_tracks. So,
your assignment needs to be a bit uglier, along the lines of:
new_cd_array(1):=(title,artist,((cd_track1),(cd_track2),(cd_track3)),tracks);
Note the array aggregate containing the cd_track aggregates.
