Actually, you don't know that.  Perhaps they're original material.  In any
case it depends on the music format.

If they're mp3s, google "mp3 tag" - there are dozens of programs for writing

If they're illegal copies of entire CDs, cddb/freedb should work, but only
if somebody has already uploaded the information to their servers.
