Document class CD to create beautiful CD cover

Question

Does somebody know a document class like cd to create cd covers where:

a) I can add a logo to the CD cover text and

b) the output is not a4 (or so) but the exact size to fit a CD cover.

I tried to get a working CD cover with this template but do not manage to add a logo via includegraphics to the front page nor to get an output size fitting into a standard CD cover without having it to adjust with scissors after printing.

Have a look at DVD, CD, and MC Covers and Collections. – Gonzalo Medina Jul 21 '15 at 17:08 — Gonzalo Medina, Jul 21 '15 at 17:08

Here's a simlpe little example using cd-cover:

\documentclass{cd-cover}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\setlength\parindent{0pt}

\begin{document}
\CDbookletTopMargin=0pt
\CDbookletMargin=0pt
\begin{bookletsheets}
\vspace*{5mm}
\hspace{5mm}
\begin{center}
{\LARGE \LaTeX3}\par\bigskip
\includegraphics[width=4cm]{expl3}
\end{center}
\end{bookletsheets}
\end{document}

The result:

enter image description here

Does this qualify as beautiful? I wouldn't know but you can beautify it as much as you want to.

I wonder how much effort would be needed to create a track listing. – Sridhar Sarnobat Oct 28 '23 at 23:56

It is not a documentsclass, but also very viable: the papercdcase package. It's beautiful because it's foldable ;)

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[margin=0pt]{geometry}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{papercdcase}

\setcdbackmatter{%
  \centering
  \huge\bfseries\LaTeX3\par
  \includegraphics[scale=.5]{expl3.png}
}

\begin{document}
\centering\papercdcase*
\end{document}

output
