My understanding of this is that when skipping, the full large buffer is not filled up all the way right at the beginning, primarily to cut down on the time the user has to wait before music starts playing. Unfortunately this also means that its possible for that small buffer to run out of data before the next buffer gets filled up, thus causing the infamous stuttering. This is more probable if 24/96 files are being played or TinySBS is being used or if using a not so great Wifi connection.
This also why I think you hear some people talking about things work fine except for the first song out of a playlist. That first song doesn't have a prefetch and is probably using the "short buffer" right at the beginning, thus increasing the probability of getting a stutter.
