Last time I had a CD skip it was because the rear brake locked solid and there were bigger issues to worry about then! Prior to that the only time it happened was getting air over a blind crest that I'd forgotten was there. I also don't think tapes are less fragile, just differently fragile....every tape I remember putting in the car came out having been chewed up and was then completely unusable! 
Also, you can own bad music on tape...they were still selling tapes in the late 90's, I had some terrible tapes! Which are all dead now due to being fragile and not lasting long in a cold damp environment.
