That's very esoteric knowledge JE; I only know what little I've been able to absorb from Wikipedia, but it seems there must be two or more numbering systems commonly in use on CDs, though presumably the use of the codes means they must remain readable by the retailer for stock control purposes.
Most of my coded CDs seem to have 12 digit codes which I presume is the UPC, and a few have 13, which I presume is the EAN, but the Global Trade Item Number can have 12, 13 or 14. These all seem to use only numerals.
Your Sony Classical entries look anomalous and as you add more variations Orbiting Cat may have to modify the barcode field, in accordance with your advice.
