CD-Text, which was part of the Red Book standard for CD specifications, has offered this feature for decades (since 1996). The feature was not used by most music labels and the hardware needed to support the standard so it is rare to find a CD that has track, album and lyric data encoded on them. We could have had better CDs if the labels weren't so fucking jewed. As for those saying streaming/lossless files are better, well what does it matter when the audio engineering of music from the last 30 years is fucked. The Loudness War where audio engineering uses compression/expansion and other audio processing techniques to make music sound "louder" has destroyed the quality of music. There are no longer any subtle variances in the soft and loud parts of a song so who cares if it's "better quality" or higher bit-rate or lossless if the music itself has already been degraded in mastering. I still prefer CDs though since they can't be disabled remotely and I don't have to keep paying some company to keep listening to them. I still love compact cassette tapes too for this same reason.
