Some barcode conventions:
CRE XXXX = 5017556 1 XXXX Y (7" singles)
CRE XXXXT = 5017556 2 XXXX Y (12" singles)
CRELP XXXX = 5017556 3 XXXX Y (LPs)
CRECD XXXX = 5017556 6 XXXX Y (CD albums)
CRESCD XXXX = 5017556 7 XXXX Y (CD singles)
CRECS XXXX 5017556 8 XXXX Y (Cassette singles)
CRE(S)CD(X|L) XXXX = 5017556 9 XXXX Y (CD remixes and limited editions where the usual number is already used by a standard release)
Where XXXX is the 2 or 3 digit cat number preceded by one or two zeros to pad it out to 4 digits and Y is a checksum digit. You can calculate the last digit here if you know the cat number but please google the resulting barcode to double check it before entering it into Musicbrainz.
