Commercially made CDs have a Table of Contents that identifies what it is --- that's how iTunes can send a query to CDDB and CDDB spits back the album name, artist and tracks. A full, direct copy should retain that. The TOC only identifies the album, by the way, not the tracks. It's up to CDDB to have accurate database input of track names.
But burned playlists/downloaded songs etc. don't have that same TOC fingerprint that CDDB, and hence another computer, can pick up. papercup is correct --- none of it carries over to a CD you burn. In other words, AIFFs themselves don't contain metadata.
