There are UPC's and EAN's. They are bar codes, and like Jonesey implies, you need to know what you are doing. If you are seeing it as a field that needs filling in a mastering app, this is providing you with means of archiving your CD's barcode and another level of copyright. iTunes and other providers require it, correctly implemented, on submitting of material - and so you get paid :-)In my country, physical product barcodes typically begin with a 9, while the download providers will accept those beginning with 9 or 8. You you need to know how it works where you live. Some wholesalers like IODA will provide you with UPC at the the point of data upload for a fee of about $10 per CD. This makes life easy.

You have to buy them. I forget how much, but most houses buy it by the bushel where it is cheaper and includes a barcode as part of the replication package.
You can call around to get one - try replication houses, mastering, etc. They'll probably make you a deal, since they buy them by the 50 or 100s.
As said above, it is a way to keep track of your product. Most record stores and on-line shops require it since it makes their accounting easier. And it is the mark of the devil, too, but don't let that bother you none.

You can get one for about $9.00 per or buy them in quantity at lower prices.
