Rahul,

As someone who has tried free software for making barcodes on the cheap, I
hearned that there is a checksum character for some barcodes.  Your jukebox
may be interpreting the checksum as part of the barcode instead of as a
checksum.  You can probably config the jukebox to ignore the checksum.  I
recommend contacting your vendor for support or reading through the manual
looking for configuration of bar codes.
