I believe there is at least one free player that does this; maybe someone
familiar with it will explain it better than I can -- I think that what it
does is maintain a database somewhere on the net and when you play a cd it
looks at the track info and compares it with this db to determine what cd
you're playing, and if it's in the db it'll output the name of the track,
etc. If it doesn't have this particular disc on record, you can type in the
info yourself and it will add it to database ... and with mp3 files, I
*think* you can specify a track name and copyright info when burning the
file, which would do what you want.
Multisession CDs are very easy to make, too -- you just specify a data track
(usually track 1) and then specify the audio tracks.
