Audio CDs don't really have a space for "song name" in their structure.
The names of songs are usually determined by getting the track times
from the audio CD's TOC and querying http://freedb.org/ , asking it
"what are the track names and album names for a CD with first track
length 1:02 second track length 4:36 ... ID 0xFEEDBEEF". You can see
how this approach is impractical for CDs you burn yourself.

Probably the best thing for you to do would be to put this info in your
local database, wherever that is for xmms--if it exists. It might not;
though kscd has a local database.
