I had this problem and it was very frustrating...i thought it was a problem with my rom that i had so i went back to stock, wiped, wiped sd card and nothing helped. found this website Re: Fascinate stock music player skipping while playing - Verizon Wireless Community and on the last post it says that battery widgets cause the problem. i had the gauge battery widget on my homescreen. once i deleted/uninstalled the skipping stopped!! hope this helps.
