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.

Three bar code scans for three different CDs chosen at random

Plug these into Amazon.com and you get the correct titles etc.
