The info needs to be there on the disc for it to be retreived. Most CDs
don't have that information. CDDB/FreeDB exist to provide that information,
based on other details from the disc.

Because Audio CDs don't have a file system.(Audio CDs outdate PCs! CD-ROM
drives came much later!)

It must have CD-Text information on the disc.(an extension to the redbook
standard that regular audio CDs use.)
