If you ever buy a CD and put it into WMP or iTunes or whatever, it will show you info like the song name, band name, album name, etc. This even happens with some CDs in certain cars.

However, whenever I burn a CD through iTunes or WMP, it never has the song or band info or anything. How do I keep this info on the CD?

iTunes auto-downloads the info, it isnt originally inscribed on the disk.

Well, obviously the songs must have some sort of digital signature that identifies them based on the CDDB. So the question is, how do I put that signature onto the burned songs?

edit: And how come when I put in certain CDs in my mother's car (BMW 530i if it matters), it shows things like song title and band name? I wasn't aware her car had an internet connection :3

The reason your computer knows is because of a little something called CDDB. Every release has a unique serial number. Put a list of tracks, genre, artist to that serial number, BAM.

CD players that read text are using what's called CD-Text. NONE of our players do it, but there is an option in Nero to copy the ID3 tag into said text.
