cdrecord does give more info (when it can of course). Example:

Disk sub type: Medium Type A, low Beta category (A-) (2)
Disk type:    Short strategy type (Phthalocyanine or similar)
Manuf. index: 3
Manufacturer: CMC Magnetics Corporation

To find out the disk type without actually burning to ip, run "cdrecord
dev=x,y,z -atip" which will print out the ATIP (Absolute Time In
Pregroove) information which includes this disk type info.
