I don't know about that... One time, I had a CD sitting on my desk, and 
I noticed that round the spindle hole there is some *tiny* writing 
that's barely readable.

I typed the code number into Google. It instantly gave me the entire 
track listing for the CD. (!) Just from the 200-digit code printed on 
the CD's surface. I imagine CDDB reads this same code. (It's almost 
certainly burned onto the data track as well as being printed on the label.)

The best thing is, the CD in question was "Best Trance Anthems EVER 
volume #1,374" or something! :-D
