Open the Terminal application. Enter "man ls" (without the quotes), 
then press enter. Use the space bar to scroll through each screen of 
info/instruction. The objective is to learn how to use the "ls" 
command to list the contents of any disk or folder on your machine. 
Once you get the gist of it, it's easy to open the Terminal and type 
"ls -lahR /Volumes/name-of-CD > ~/Desktop/name-of-CD_listing.txt".

Then you can get Platypus 
<http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12046> to simply take that 
simple one-liner and make it into a program instead. So you could 
drag a CD onto the program icon and immediately have a text file with 
the content listing appear on your Desktop.

It may sound complex but it'll probably take a well-spent hour to 
find, learn, try, test and end up with your own custom application 
that produces exactly the listing you wish.
