I mean I was doing a paper round around 2000 and the one I owned certainly didn’t have anti-skip to begin with and even when they did have anti-skip that doesn’t mean that it never skipped as later ones I had with it only had “x seconds of anti skip” so if it receives a big jolt that shit was still skipping
I had one, and it was great for listening to my CDs when I was laying in bed, but if I had to actually walk anywhere I took my walkman and a bookbag full of tapes (half of which were books on tape and not actual music lol). Dealing with the skipping was just too damn irritating. Walkman was the clear winner for my use case
Walking down the street, cradling the thing like a baby because the slightest bump would cause it to skip, those were the days xD
In 2002 they would all have anti-skip, even the cheap knock offs. The skipping was just in the early 90s.

And the CDs needed to be handled with kid gloves
