Follow the general preliminary record instructions and use the following instructions for the special features of recordings. Include the fixed and variable fields included in this document. Use the new m command to call a music recordings workform.

2. VARIABLE FIELDS:
   1. 024/International Standard Recording Number

      Omit hyphens and spaces when recording International Standard Recording Number or Universal Product Code.

      Record manufacturer numbers usually appear on the disc and on the container. Record sets may also include a set number in addition to individual record numbers; record set numbers in this case. Do not record numbers for other formats available. In the subfield $a, copy the number exactly as it appears on the label, retain alphabetic prefixes, suffixes, dashes, spaces, etc. The subfield $b includes the manufacturer's name as it would appear in the 260 $b.

      Examples:

   3. 1xx/Main Entry: Author/Composer/Performer

      If the recording has three or fewer composers or principal performers, search the author's/composer's name (personal, corporate, conference) in CLIO and input a 1XX field.

      Examples:

      100:1 :|a Beethoven, Ludwig van, |d 1770-1827.
