May be worth adding, that although a buffer however small, is always
being
used, that for the CD players that have the "anti-shock" feature, have a
LARGER buffer than those without.
In addition, they *might* spend a little more on the physical shock
resistance of the tray and such, but not a lot. Since adding ram is by
far
easier, smaller and cheaper than the engineering that has to go into a
tray to
stop jogging skips, the extra ram wins every time.
So to the OP, it's not really a "feature" in the true sense, it's just
more
of what the circuitry already has.
