When you used the CD burning software, it is possible you used a program that named the tracks and the playlist (album) in a format on the CD that Itunes could later "read."
I've seen a few programs over the years that will do this.
I suppose that's possible, but I sure have no recoleciton of doing so. I do remember that the software was Adaptec (sp?). I looked at the volume label on the CD and it's something like "Audio Disk".
