Digit-Eyes will read the barcode and probably has the information. If it does not, it is likely that the scan will trigger a spider to find it within 24 hours or so.
I'm not sure, however, that UPC recognition is the solution to this problem. This is because the barcode is on the case and not on the CD / DVD, so once the CD is out of the case, it won't be associated with the UPC. So a product that reads UPC / EAN labels isn't going to be all that useful if the CD is on your player and you are trying to figure out which of the 5 CDFs in the tray it is. Two possible solutions: 1. use LookTel, oMoby or one of that ilk of recognizer product and record information for the face of the CD. The downside is that there may be recognition issues and if you record your own CD's, they are all going to look alike. 2. Alternatively, you can use the feature that is free on the Digit-Eyes site to create some text labels or audio labels and put them on the side of the CD where the printing is. Or if you are so inclined, you can buy them off the DE site (but we prefer that you print your own.) All you do is to scan the label and you'll hear what the code is. If you want to use text labels, the reader is free (that is Digit-Eyes Lite -- otherwise known as DELite). If you want to record labels, that is part of the full product and it is sold on the iTunes store. Here is a case study / example of how it works; http://www.digit-eyes.com/media.html For the record (heh), Gary is a real person and this was a real example -- except for the fact that he drinks Scotch, not lemonade...
