Title: computer help
Post by: Barny on December 10, 2011, 08:31:45 PM

Hi All,
Its a computer problem. I decided to try to sell some cd's on music magpie but when I enter the bar code number and press enter my computer adds a zero in front of it. Any ideas?

It is just padding it is adding if it is not getting as many digits as expected.

I tried a couple of 13 digit DVDs and it was fine. Make sure you add the digit right at the front (a five in my case).

What is the barcode number you are trying?

Doesn't seem to be enough digits.

Don't suppose you have a smartphone do you?
Androids have a barcode scanner. iPhone has a Music Magpie App that will scan for you.

Frayed knot, just have a Nokia 5230. Not worrying though, Thanks,
