Most burning programs that I have used have a box to check indicating that ID tags are to be burned to the CD. You are probably aware that there is a difference between the ID tag and the file name. If the ID tag is not written to the file, the songs, when written to the CD will most likely be named 'track 1', etc. Because I need things pretty simple, I use Media Monkey, a freeware application, to verify ID tags and to write the tags if there are none. One feature of this program is that multiple tags can be written from file names which saves time and typing. Media Monkey works fine when using MP3 files.
