What is metadata on a CD?

What burn CD means?
Burn is a colloquial term meaning to write content to a CD , DVD , or other recordable disc. CD-Recordable ( CD-R ) and CD-Rewritable ( CD-RW ) are the two most common types of drives that can write CDs, either once (in the case of CD-R) or repeatedly (in the case of CD-RW).
Do you need to format a CD before burning?
Usually, if you want to burn data to a CD or DVD, first you need to format the disk. If there is data on the CD or DVD, you should erase the data already on the disc and then format it for reuse. (Here the disk should be a rewritable CD or DVD which allows you to format and rewrite data.)
How do I change the metadata on a CD?
Right-click the track, and click Edit info option. In the “Edit Song Info” tab, you can update the metadata information of a particular song, including title, artist, track, disk, album title, artist, genre, year, and sort title (if the Show advanced options toggle switch is turned on).

Are there any audio CDs that are incompatible?
The audio CD has been established for a long time now and there is no point in making new CDs incompatible with existing CD players. This means that care has to be taken if adding digital content to audio CDs. Digital data and audio data on CDs use completely different and incompatible underlying formats.
Why are there different audio formats on CDs?
Digital data and audio data on CDs use completely different and incompatible underlying formats. This makes it tricky to mix both (though it can be done). Given a large population of older CD players, the industry has evidently not seen any benefit in improving the audio CD format.
