Please help me with the name of this process or printing type. This cd cover is an example...everywhere white would be, it's silver. In person, it's really shiny.

Without looking at it, you can do it yourself with a paper from Luminos. You can go to their website and find it or go to Freestyle's web site. I believe it's called Silverprint or something very similar. The CD cover is a graphic arts print, not a photot or inkjet print. It's pretty easy to print on a foil based surface with today's printer's inks.

Um, yeah, putting aluminum foil in the printer isn't such a good idea :(

NOOOOO, I didn't say for you to do that ;-) It's an easy job for the big boys in the printing houses with the megabuck printing presses. It's not feasible for us to do that. I have no idea if that sort thing works for the printers that can print directly on a CD, but I suspect that printing on a CD surface is not the same as an anodized metallic finish. Metallic surface photo papers have been around for at least 30 years, as I used some back in the mid 70's, and I saw them on the Luminos web site a few months ago.
