If you are editing the BaOI anyway, it is perfectly fine to move 'static' information lines up above the runout lines so they don't end up getting mixed into each other. It is not considered a preference edit to do that – see DtF in https://www.discogs.com/forum/thread/786274#7802724

To enable a proper search for characters in the matrix strings use standard numerals instead of letters, superscript, subscript (e.g. A1 instead of A¹ / A₁ / AI)

'Author' is a credit role from the Acting, Literary & Spoken branch which relates to the creator of a text that is used or recited on a release. In contrary, the valid credit role for finalizing a DVD is 'Authoring', a technical role that describes the overall process in which the prototype (master) of a DVD is generated from different content (film, video, images, soundtracks, subtitles, etc.). DVD authoring is an intermediate step between postproduction and duplication.

Choir and chorus share some meanings but are not interchangeable. For eg., a chorus can refer to the refrain of a song, but the choir can’t. You can call it a choir or a chorus if you listen to a group of singers. But if there is some repeated section of a song, then it is known as chorus and not the choir.

UPC barcodes, or Universal Product Codes, consist of 12 characters: the manufacturer identification number (usually the first six digits of the UPC number), an item number (the next five digits), and a check digit (the last digit). Contrary to popular belief, price is not encoded in the barcode. The last character in a UPC barcode is derived from a formula based upon the previous eleven numbers. The formula is as follows:
* Add all of the digits in odd-numbered positions together and multiply the sum by three
* Add all of the digits in even-numbered positions
* Add these two sums together
* The check digit will be the number it would take to round to the nearest multiple of 10
The UPC barcode is in use in the US, the European 13 digit (EAN) barcode adds a one digit region prefix which is considered to be 0 for the US

Price codes are entered without a (double) colon. A colon is a separator and is not covered by the 'as on release' rule and therefore is not a part of the valid data. It is added again by the system automatically. See https://www.discogs.com/forum/thread/767187

Retail price also is a valid Price Code
