They're all EAN13;
EAN13 (which is what the first barcode is -- it's a german code)
is of course EAN13
UPC-A (which is what i suspect the second one is, with a missing
leading 0) is EAN13 with the flag set to 0 (nothing to do with
the leading 0 I mentioned)
ISBN is EAN13 with the first three digits set to 978
I don't really know of any other barcodes in use for identifying
CDs, but in case there are we might better make it a generic thing
instead of 'EAN'. 'BARCODE' would work :/
