      It seems there are releases (e.g. by BMG Direct), which have a barcode that is in Code 39 encoding. One example is the release entered in edit #15627943, but there are others.

      The text under the barcode is "D 140757", and the actual barcode decoded by e.g. onlinebarcodereader.com is:

      Format: CODE_39
Type: TEXT

D140757

      Should MusicBrainz support these barcodes in the barcode field, or is it better to add them as additional catalog number?

      Discussion is also in this forum thread.
