Most of the extra details go onto the obi like the detailed tracklisting and tie ups. Sometimes, it also indicates whether its PC or Mac Compatible etc.

Yup, its main use is for decoration so that the stickers and everything don't interfere. It also makes the spine of the cd look "fuller" because u'll just see the title and everything when the spine is facing you instead of the plastic cover then the title of the CD (you can't even see it clearly at times because of the reflection of the light on the CD) and it makes the entire CD look as if its a box, without the spaces in between.

It's mostly for decoration but it also helps because it contains quite a substantial amount of information.
