Edit Identity

This is the second page on the Edit Records notebook.

CD Hex

Every audio cd has a cdhex number. This number is build by several characteristica direct from the cdrom drive. By pressing the scan button MusicFrame will ask the cdrom drive for this number and inserts it in the CDhex box. You should do so for every cd in your collection if no cdhex number is available. Data without cdhex can't be exported to any software cd-player supportet by MusicFrame.

Note:
Currently this function only works under OS/2. I'm working on a windows and linux support.

Barcode

The barcode identifies your cd on the label and order-no. level. You should provide MusicFrame with this information if it's available on the inlay or on the cd itself.
If there's no barcode printed on your cd or inlay, you have a good chance to let MusicFrame calculate a barcode. To do this, first fill out the label and order-no fields, then select the first barcode field.
If MusicFrame says that the label isn't definied yet and you have no barcode, only fill out the label and order-no fields. See Edit Label for additional info.

Barcode type

There are 2 different barcode types available on audio cd:
0 111111 111111 6 12-Numbers (counting only the 2 groups in the middle)
- are a valid character here
or
0 11111 11111 6 10-Numbers

Barcode fields

The first single number on both barcode types is the country code. Often this number is missing in the printed barcode on cd. If this is true, assume that the country code is 0 and type it in the first single field. 0 means international in this case.
The last single number is the check code. Sometimes this number is missing, too. If this is true, leave the field blank. MusicFrame will calculate it if all fields were typed in, but the last is missing. To do so you only have to select the last field.
The two groups in the middle are 10 or 12 chars in length. Type this 2 groups in the corresponding fields.

Label

If you typed in a valid barcode and MusicFrame are able to find a corresponding label in its database, MusicFrame fills out this field for you. If this is not the case, but MusicFrame says "This label isn't definied yet" in the statusbar, you must first create this label.
If MusicFrame fills that field with a family label, please edit the field. When you save the data only one label is allowed in this field.

Order-No

If a barcode is available already, MusicFrame fills this field with a order-no. calculated from the barcode.
If no barcode is available then type the order-no in this field. Order-no are always printed on the cd itself.
