In Classical, barcodes are not indexed as "All." They must be searched as "Barcodes." Please add Barcodes to the All index.

Multiple barcodes are available for many albums (I've had as many as 3 on a single album), but the field is not repeatable. I've been adding additional barcodes to comments, but perhaps the data field should be made repeatable.

Barcodes with the letter "D" prefix are common in the U.S., but the system will not accept barcodes with letters. Again, I add these barcodes to comments, but perhaps the system should accept alpha-numeric barcodes. (I'm not sure if alpha-numeric bar-codes are used in other countries, etc.). When adding Missing Information, these D prefix barcodes can be scanned into the barcode field, but I think the "D" disappears when the record finishes change.

Long barcodes seem to be truncated by the system. After 14 or so digits, the number seems to be truncated. I haven't kept track of the few I've noticed; again, I add the barcode variation to a Comment.

A few barcodes scan slightly differently than what is shown in the printed code, often one extra digit at the end of the barcode. I add the variation to a Comment.

I scan many barcodes for both searching and input, and they are great for these purposes. But they present these issues as well.

Some system testing may be needed to check some of these issues. I don't want to play around with "real" records I'm inputting in order to troubleshoot.
