In simpler words, you can say cd jackets are the covers in which a cd comes. It is made up of paperboard, cardstock, kraft paper, or rigid sheets. It provides information about the music or the material that is recorded on CD and information about the singer. Unfortunately, we do not see any of these around because of the digital sources of music.

CDs have been out on their way, and we do not see any of them these days, and it makes us sad as spending childhood finding our favorites CDs in the stores at cheap rates in sales was the best time. The time spent arranging overstuffed CD wallets and massive towers in our room can never be replaced by anything. CD wallet printing was the craziest thing one could imagine at that time. It had its perks and cons too.

Electronics giant in japan manufactured the first CD player that launched commercially. October 1982 marked the start of a new era for music. It expanded exponentially over the next few years and overtook cassette in 1991.
This was still something new and astounding when compact disc recordable was discovered. This was a time when we should have known that the end of CDs is near as PCs and digital recorders began allowing users to rip discs that preserve the music in low bit rate files that later could be recorded onto CDs for sharing. This process was as slow as it could take almost 8 or more hours to write a single disc from a computer drive. It was the first readily available way to share music free of cost, which became a mainstay, and was a stepping stone to the end of CDs.
No one could have imagined what was about to happen to the whole music industry and its sales model.

ore extended period.
Genie came out of its box that fulfilled users demand on a single click, and that was an online music streaming service that offered digital streaming of the selected music from a wide range of record label. This service provided all users with unlimited music without breaking any legal rights.

This was the time when CDs entirely became out of fashion as it was hard to find one; it took too much space and was not free. 
Now, these are collectibles, and few people still prefer CDs over anything because they do not want to leave the tradition and yet are not ready to bid farewell. Custom CD sleeves are made in personalized designs and shapes to protect the discs, promote the product or the brand, which still make CDs.
