lyricsId and arelease.trackId are (I presume) of type NSString*. The == simply compares the pointers, which will usually be different even if their contents are the same. The isEqualToString method compares their contents.

== will compare pointers(addresses) equality, while isEqualToString:will compare if one string is equal to another.
