Hello Guys Wish U Happy New Year.
Coming to my question.My database structure for music is shown below

1)Music_Id
2)Song_Name
3)Music_Director

In Create view to edit multiple song properties at a time like

@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { }))
{
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)

    <fieldset>
        <legend>Music</legend>


@foreach (var item in Model)
        {
        
        <div style="float:left;">
         <div class="editor-label">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => item.Music_Id)
      </div>
      <div class="editor-field">
        @Html.EditorFor(model => item.Music_Id)
       @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => item.Music_Id)
       </div>

        <pre><div class="editor-label">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => item.Song_Name)
          </div>
         <div class="editor-field">
           @Html.EditorFor(model => item.Song_Name)
         @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => item.Song_Name)
         </div>

            <div class="editor-label">
         @Html.LabelFor(model => item.Music_Director)
         </div>
          <div class="editor-field">
          @Html.EditorFor(model => item.Music_Director)
          @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => item.Music_Director)
           </div>
 }
        <p>
            <input type="submit" value="Create" />
        </p>
    </fieldset>
            
}

Are you saying that you are editing three songs at the same time in the view and click of a button, save those into the database ?

The general practise is that you will list all songs and select the one you want to edit (edit one at a time)..What made you to set the number of songs to be edited at the same time as 3 ? why not 5 or 10 ?

Thanks To Jocodes For giving me the way to find the solution

@model List<MusicBusinessLayer.Music>

@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { }))
{
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
 
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Music</legend>
 

 @for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count();i++ )
        {
        
        <div style="float:left;">
         <div class="editor-label">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => Model[i].Music_Id)
      </div>
      <div class="editor-field">
        @Html.EditorFor(model => Model[i].Music_Id)
       @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => Model[i].Music_Id)
       </div>
 
        <pre><div class="editor-label">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => Model[i].Song_Name)
          </div>
         <div class="editor-field">
           @Html.EditorFor(model => Model[i].Song_Name)
         @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => Model[i].Song_Name)
         </div>
 
            <div class="editor-label">
         @Html.LabelFor(model => Model[i].Music_Director)
         </div>
          <div class="editor-field">
          @Html.EditorFor(model => Model[i].Music_Director)
          @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => Model[i].Music_Director)
           </div>
 }
        <p>
            <input type="submit" value="Create" />
        </p>
    </fieldset>
            
}

In Controller I use

public ActionResult Create(List<Music> musicfiles)
       {
          //......
       }
