Unfortunately the original filenames are lost, they are not stored at
all on the disk.

You also can't use the CDDB (the internet database that identifies disks
and servers album and song titles) since you didn't copy a disk, but
created a compilation.

The only option I can think of is something my cell phone provider has.
It's a service that'll "figure out" the name of the song and artist. All
it needs is a 30 second clip of the song. It's meant for when you are in
say a club, you hear a song you like, but have no idea what it's called.
You call this number, hold your phone in the air and it listens. After
about 30 seconds it hangs up and sends you a text with the name of the
song and artist.

It's pretty accurate, I've tested it a couple times. Perhaps your
provider offers a similar service.
