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.
