Electronic Skip Protection - History
The technology surfaced around 1992-1993 as an alternative to the bulky rubber shock absorbers utilized in portable players at the time. Also, it was to reduce size, since a "portable" CD player marketed for car usability was quite bulky to actually be portable. Rubber shock absorbers are still used today, just not as effective than the models prior to 1993.
When first introduced, 3 seconds was the maximum available from manufacturers. Variations today range from 10 seconds to at least a couple of minutes.
Due to the nature of the ATRAC compression scheme, all MD decks and portables have at least 10 seconds when the format debuted in 1992. Currently, MD units have much more than 10 seconds of buffer.
