Weird results playing a burned CD...wrong album/song info?

I converted five video files to .mp3, then used Windows Media Player to burn an audio CD.

When I played the CD using VLC, the disc showed up as being an EP with the title Cypress x Rusko. Album artwork also displayed.

I looked up the EP on the internet, and found it also has five songs on it. Each song title VLC is displaying, one for each of the ones I burned, is a song title off the Cypress x Rusko EP disc.

The five .mp3 files had nothing to do with that EP CD.

How did this happen, and why?

I tried playing the CD in Windows Media Player, and it doesn't show any artwork, CD title, or song titles.

So strange...

Look at the logs. It's probably a match in the CDDB database.

A match with what?

I'd created the .mp3 files the audio CD was made from, and gave them no song/artist/album info.

Also, where would I find these "logs"?
