Most use a lower voltage, so you could use a downvertor from
RatShack or equiv for power, and then use a set of powered
speakers. Best model to get is one you can get a software
driver for, say a free one from RealAudio.

Oversampling doesn't prevent skipping, has nada to to with it.
Most oversampling is just used so the D/A can be done by a
1 bit pulse width modulator rather than the far more expensive
linear PCM D/A.
It would be possible to help skip protect by rotating the
CD faster, as is done in a computer CD-ROM deck, and then
if you miss a sample hope you can spin it around again and
get it on the next rotation. Dunno anyone doing this as
opposed to just making the pickup extremely lightweight.
MP3 is really more convenient anyway, as you can get more
music on a CD. You wouldn't really need such fancy features
as variable bit rate 320+ Khz sample rate in a automobile
unit, since it would be a waste. Anything that can play
a standard data CD at 128 Kbit or better should work.
Kenwood has a CD/Mp3 player in dash unit and there are
probably hundreds of others.

My suggestion of the MP3 is so that you could take it with you. It would
be non permanent. If you want a more "installed" setup, you could use an
in-dash, or experiment a little. The only output on most MP3 players is
the headphone/earphone out. That isn't enough to drive a set of speakers
without some sort of amplification. If the speakers were self powered,
you might be able to do that. Some CD players have a speaker out or LINE
out.
In our Jeeps, we could run the headphone out of the MP3 player into the
CD (AUX) input on our stereos. Headphone is not quite LINE level, but it
will get you close enough to play it. I imagine it would not have the
full volume of the radio or CD player tho. There are companies that make
adapters for that very thing and will bring the earphone LVL up to LINE.
