Answer
Hi, James.
You need 'ID tag data' in order to do this (and the CD format does not support it directly).
CD-Text will allow you to add text but only on CD's which you burn yourself using an extension  such as http://bmproductions.fixnum.org/download/download.php?prog=WMPCDText&file=http:/ for your media application.
The information is stored either in the lead-in area of the CD, where there is roughly five kilobytes of space available, or in the Subchannels R to W on the disc, which can store about 31 megabytes.
