Yeah, just use CD Baby or TuneCore or whatever. It'll be somewhere between free and $20. You're not treating the 3 new songs as a new project, you're treating the 8 songs (old + new) as a new project. If I'm understanding you correctly? You really paid $750 for a UPC?

So id have 2treat the 3 new songs as a new project? fine. but that was kind of a worry i had, 'cause a barcode is like $750 right? or would i need 2register the new songs w/CDbaby & get a barcode like that?

Copyright - You can submit the three new songs to the Library of Congress as a set.2. BDS Encoding - I believe you'd just do the three new songs. I wouldn't worry too much about it either way though.3. Barcode - The barcode is for the collection, not the individual songs. Since this is a new collection, you need a new barcode. Just like if an artist releases a greatest hits collection, it gets its own UPC. Seems like we’re talking about three different things here:
