I would be slightly concerned about the CD coming off too, but it'd be easy enough to secure it.

It is just a connector you can use instead of having to solder them.

I have loads of old cds lying around ... always thought I'd use them to make stuff; but all I could ever think of was pen holders, flower holders and modified lamps, which right now I'm thinking was more GAY thsn creative, esp. the flower holder! Thanks for this ... at least now I hope to start thinking more creative. And yes, I'd fear that the cd would suddenly fly off the cork too, but I guess it should be secured with hot glue.
