Unless they're not original CD'S and have come from somewhere else in the form of copies, that's why its important to have CD Ripping software that does accurate copying, the CD should have a barcode on the back which you can read with your scanner which in tern will bring up the information.
If that fails then your friend Google can often then help out with information.
