I think when they first started making these they had problems. I've since then upgraded to a much nicer and newer one, and it never skips at all. So I have a feeling the newer ones don't have these kinds of problems.

Mp3-cd players actually have <i>more</i> skip protection that regular cds, since it take less time to load the song into memory. My portable player stops spinning the cd about 20 seconds into a song, but the music keeps playing. It doesn't usually spin up again for another 3 minutes, and then only for another 20 seconds.

BTW, here's one for only $150.
