Some of the CED player had a skip feature which let you jump forward in time by a little bit.
In the late 80s there were some turntables designed with optical pickups which tried to "see" the track separators between songs on an LP. They had track-foward/back buttons. The feature didn't last long; I'm guessing because it didn't work well.
Around the same time there were turntables with laser "needles", which tried to read the information from the disc that way. One important feature was missing, not only do physical needs read the disc, they also provide a cleaning effect. You had to clean each record well before each play in order to keep the laser pickup system working right.

I can remember when cassette tape players developed logc technology and you could finally hit 'search' and it would fast forward to the next song for you. The only problem was that a lot of live tapes ran from one song right into the next without any of the breaks necessary for the tape deck to see it needed to stop... so the dang thing would just keep fast forwarding or rewinding to the end/beginning of the tape! Arrrrrrggg!!!! That was just one of the many advantages CD's had over cassette's (although it took me years to finally find this out for my stubborn self!). Then CD's came out with those ultra cool 'hidden' tracks that weren't possible on tapes. Ah the joys of technology!
