Last weekend, KBCO in Boulder, CO did an all compact disk format.
While listening to one selection, it suddenly sounded as if it
were skipping!  You know... as with a vinyl album... it gets
stuck and keeps repeating itself.  After a minute, the DJ cut
off the song and said that he guessed we witnessed the first
skipping on a CD!  My question:  How is this possible!
Isn't it likely this is a mechanical problem?  What part of
a CD player is mechanical?  Does this signify a questionable
player?  (I may call KBCO to see what CD players they were using.)

KBCO uses a Denon player.  The CD "skip" is possible but it is the
first time I've heard of it.  The scanning laser is moved much in
the same way as the read head on a computer disk drive.  And
you know what kinds of problems people have with them, right?
