6 Panel CD DigipakA digipak is basically a CD case. What makes them different from normal CD cases (why they are classed as digipaks) is that they can include lots of extras such as photographs, informations about the band, song lyrics and maybe even a little booklet about the music. Digipaks cost a little more than regular CD cases because of all these extras, but they are worth it if that is what the fans want.
