Arnie, you misunderstood the question. The issue is not whether they are burned or pressed, the issue is when were they were burned.
Say for example a band is starting out, not signed to a label, they burn their demo or promo stuff onto CD-Rs. If that band then goes on to become famous, what's to say someone couldn't make a copy onto another CD-R and pass it off as the original?
digitalfreaknyc, I don't know of any software that will tell you what you want to know. The only suggestion I can make is to look for clues on the discs themselves, for example, it they are on 74min/650MB discs they are unlikely to be recent burns.

In this case, I have a few Madonna promo CD-R's. What happens is that a lot of times things that are done "in house" are done on CD-R. THe problem is that once they get "out there," it's hard to differentiate originals from copies.
Sometimes they have stuff printed directly on the disc, sometimes it's a sticker. Sometimes it's plain. Such a pain.
