If you're the kind of Mac user that's compulsive about making sure each and every MP3 in your collection has the correct album art attached to it, you'll LOVE this visualization plug-in for iTunes called JewelCase.
A screenshot does not do it justice. You have to see it in action! Really!
Dunno if this will eliminate the skipping, but under the Preferences, there's an option to select either Full Screen: Best Quality or Full Screen: Best Performance, and I assume the latter is the way to go if you're having audio problems in between songs.
Try playing with the other layout options and display settings, it's pretty neat what else you can do with the plugin!
