For every scenario I can think of, the frequency of the skip on a CD would
be dependent on the location on the disc.  Remember, they spin at constant
velocity, not at a constant RPM.  The RPM varies from 500 to 300 if I'm
remembering correctly.

On the players I've tried, it has been a tricky business to cause a CD to
skip "reliably".  You have to catch a certain middle-ground where the
player can cope well enough to keep spitting out audio, but not well
enough to advance through the disc in approximately the normal way.
