This is not really an error you should be very concerned about.

CDDB is an acronym for "CD DataBase". Basically, the program is telling
you that it could not find an entry in the local CD database, or in the
internet-wide CD database. This means that your tracks won't be labelled
with the names of the songs, and the CD program won't know who made the
music, or what the title of the CD is. Typically, no one cares since CD
drives are usually used to:
1) Read data from
2) Play music from

And the lack of a CDDB entry interferes with neither of these functions.
