Gracenote www.gracenote.com
A site for general audio CD track listings for use by playback software/hardware. Some anime CDs are listed here, but other production information is very limited. Gracenote now charges royalties to software makers, so it's not clear what will happen to it. Used to be called cddb.com. See freedb.org for its free alternative.
FreeDB.org www.freedb.org
An alternative to gracenote.com (was cddb.com), which is used for general audio CD track listings for use by playback software/hardware. Like Gracenote, production information tends to be limited. It's newer so its database is currently smaller, so anime CD information is even more sparse.
For J-pop:

CD information for specific shows can sometimes be found at fan web sites. Check the Anime Web Turnpike, http://www.anipike.com for lists of sites for specific shows.
