Maybe, on the really really cheap ones. But if you used the ones prior to the anti-skip you could really tell the difference. For one you could actually use them in a moving vehicle.
I used to have a portable CD player that kept playing for about a full minute while tapping and shaking it, and you could hear the head searching for the track. I also (still have) had an early one that would skip as soon as you put it down on a table or something.
