Abstract
A holder for removably supporting a compact disk. The compact disk is held by its center opening over a post and under a ridge on the outer surface of the post. As the top of the post is pushed downwardly, the outer surface of the post moves inwardly and the ridge compresses and moves downwardly and allows the opening in the compact disk to pass over it. The compact disk is thus easily removed by simply pushing the center of the disk holding post. Preferably, the grooves are spiral shaped.
