Or if you really like skipping I have some junk CD players on a shelf for you. The absolute king of alternate CD technology is a gentleman named Nicholas Collins, who invents his own instruments. He has hacked into CD players and made controls for manipulating loops and fast forwarding. Another of his inventions involves feeding signals into a guitar pickup which inductively vibrates the strings and then amplifying the output of a second pickup. He has (or had) stuff out on Robert Poss' label Trace Elements, but I don't know if Poss is still keeping the label going.
