Release/Catalog Number

Discussion

ClutchEr2 reports that very recent CDs do not have a ReleaseCatalogNumber. Instead they use the BarCode without the trailing zero and 13th check digit number.

• This is only partly true as far as I can tell. A lot of (small) labels still use internal catalog numbering, and I've also seen some labels using a smaller part of the barcode. Anyhow, this should be moved out from this page, as it pertains to ReleaseCatalogNumber, not to LabelCode. -- dmppanda 19:28, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I have a double CD release where each CD has a catalogue number, and the digipak has one. What to enter as catalogue number? --Zout

• There has been some heated discussion about that earlier, and no consensus as far as I can tell. I would suggest, if the set catalog # and discs catalog # are really completely unrelated: use the *set* catalog # (eg: the unique catalog # for the box), and possibly mention in the annotation that the discs themselves have a different cat #. Although, I've seen cases where: CATALOG# for the set and CATALOG#-1 for disc 1, CATALOG#-2 for disc 2 etcetera. In this later case, I think using the *disc* catalog # makes sense. -- dmppanda 12:38, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
