The song titles are not on the CD, they are fetched from some external database, such as FreeDB.org, but I guess Windows Media Player has its own database.

Yes, it would be nice if Reaper could fetch song titles from somewhere like FreeDB.org, but AFAIK this is not currently available.

I rip CDs with AudioGrabber Portable, it accesses FreeDB.org to get the song titles.

And BTW, the *.cda "files" that you see are not really files in the conventional sense, they are just placeholders that Windows make up, since an audio CD does not have a file system.
