Viking,
I suppose what you are asking is, how do I get the Artist and Album name from a CD? The short answer is that it's not contained on the CD, and what you have to do is ask a database for that information (called a CDDB database), using a value derived from the CD's tracks and lengths of tracks as the ID to that database (which can return the track names as well).

There is a CDDB module available at CPAN, and there are many online CDDB databases you can access (such as cddb.cddb.com and freedb.freedb.com).

Ciao (got to go to work, or I'd answer in more detail),
Gryn
