A Music Management Program is much more likely to know about music publishers, sellers and sources of music metadata than a Book Management Program. Have you asked the folks over at MediaMonkey, Quod Libet etc if they have something.
The bar codes on books are ISBN numbers, which are 'universally' known. I can scan the number, paste it into the Id field of an empty book, and have Calibre fetch details of the book from multiple sources.
However AFAIK there's is no equivalent to ISBN for music. The bar codes on the CD's I have at hand look like publisher specific SKU's. Both Mediamonkey and Quod Libet support plugins so maybe something already exists there.
