Another Walmart question..

When looking at music CD's at WalMart yesterday, I noticed on the
label it says "Date", and then has a number. They seem to always end
in the number "2", which would probably mean 2002, but the other vary.
Along the lines of 142, 242, 122, etc.

Just wondering what the numbers meant, or what the code meant. I did
ask the employee standing at the cash register, but he said he had no
idea.

If the number is PRINTED on the lable (in ink like the rest of the
text) the best way to find out would be to contact the publisher of
the music and ask them. I suspect it's a batch number like
142=batch14, year2002  242=batch24, year2002. Sence you don't have a
title there is no way I could find this out.

If the number is "lasered" into the little ring on the inside of the
CD(the one just outside of the clear plastic piece). You should try to
contact the manufactuarer of the disk (this info could probably be
obtained from whoever published the disk. However, I suspect the
number will be something as mundane as a batch code or production line
ID. It could also be the manufactuarer's cataloge number for that
type/size/ of disk.
