Rockbox will retry over and over again until it succeeds, but may
eventually reach the end of the memory buffer. When that happens, Rockbox
must stop playing and wait for more data from the disk, which causes your
music to skip. The anti-skip setting tells Rockbox how much extra buffer
memory to spare to handle this situation. This setting therefore allows you
to reduce the chances of there being a gap or pause during playback of
songs.
