"Skipping CD players is something I just can't understand. Mine don't. Even the ones in my cars when I go over the world class pot holes we have in western Mass."
Eldartford, the player reads ahead on the disc and stores 30 seconds (or more) worth of sound (which is nothing more than digital computer data) in a little, built-in memory buffer and play's the sound from that memory buffer.
When the CD player takes enough of a jolt to interrupt the laser's ability to read the data from the CD, the buffer empties until the laser picks up again and refills the buffer.
