Your comment has strong “well, actually …” energy. We’re talking about faulty blocks from physical abrasions and the two common error mechanisms (skipping or repeating). They were both “weird, ugly, uncomfortable, and nasty.”

CD Reed-Solomon forward error correction did make that pretty rare though. You had to abuse a disc a fair amount to overcome the coding.

I recall reading a music artist (Akufen, maybe?) would scribble over CDs with a marker to get them to skip, then use the resulting sounds to make music.

Records would skip as well due to worn tracks, worn needle or someone bumping the turntable.
