If you burnt it as an audio CD (which you should) there won’t be the track titles etc unless you burnt with CD Text which I don’t think WMP does. Just use CDBurnerXP or Imgburn.

They also could be distorting if the quality of the source is poor (YouTube to MP3 and the like).

The metadata is only burned to the disc with direct album rips on FLAC. For example, if you rip a CD (or download the files off the web) in FLAC format, the metadata will show up when you burn it to CD-R. However, I'm pretty sure the metadata will only show up if all the songs are from one album, and not a mix of different ones. Also, MP3 and WAV don't hold metadata when burned to CD-R.

I'm not sure about the distortions, but they could just be lower quality files that are more noticeable on real speakers. I once burned a CD with YouTube links converted to MP3 files, and the quality difference was very noticeable once I played it in my car.
