As I recall, portable CD players skipped a lot. Not sure if they ever fixed that, I went straight from cassette tapes to MP3 players. Now those were a real game changer.
Oh yeah the first ones were pretty bad for that. But once they figured “anti shock” iirc they were good enough to play from my jacket pocket while walking around.
Mp3s were absolutely a game changer. I bizzarely had a cd player that could handle regular cds and cds with MP3s and spent a couple days copying over a few cds worth of mp3s before I spent a year abroad.
And for all that, I bet you also appreciate the shit out of having all music all the time in all the places.
