Nope, even the names Track01.cda are made up. The audio CD format has 
only 1 set of track identification, the table of contents, (TOC), which 
contains the location of the start of the first track, and the offsets 
of each subsequent track. The operating system calls the first track 
"Track01.cda".

Other than the physical location of each track there is nothing else.

Using the number oif tracks, and the order and length of each track, you 
can create a fingerprint used to look up what the CD is in a database.

So, creating your own disk will mean it's almost certainly impossible to 
use the fingerprint data to match with anything out there.

You're out of luck.
