dear Scott,

if you use a feature called "CD text" some newer CD players and some
software CD players (MAC, PC a.o.) can read the titles from the CD.
You need a burning program capable of CD text and such a burner.
Software example = Wavelab from Steinberg but there may be more.
The player read the titles from the CD so there is no need of an
internet connection.

For to read out the titles from an internet database I think you need
a official CD with an EAN and UPC code, and then edit the CD to the
internet CD database (like  http://www.freedb.org).

Matthias
