I have iTunes v 7.6 on a G5 iMac. I have never seen any connection  
between the name of the Playlist and information on a burned CD. The  
term "Playlist" refers to the name you create on the left column of  
iTunes, and is simply a reference for a collection of songs you choose  
to group together. The information on a CD can be altered by selecting  
a song and then selecting "Get Info" from the File menu. This menu  
offers many categories, including Album, Artist, Track #, etc. But not  
"Playlist".

I can only guess that you may have named your playlist the same name  
as the name of the album, and then assumed that the "playlist" info  
was transfered. When you are looking for this information to appear  
from the burned CD, where are you looking? Are you playing it on  
another computer? A CD player that has an LED display?
