The Labelcode

The Label-code (which is normally located at the backside of each CD) now, would be appointed when you register the recording medium or a Label at the GVL. It facilitates electronic commerce processes including full tracking and traceability to all radio and TV broadcasts. All label-codes are summarized in the GVL book/list.
