Pauses or skips at the beginning of songs is one of the most common issues zune users are experiencing. Well not everybody, but at least some do, in most cases that downloaded their content from zune marketplace.

So, Cesar from zuneinsider posted yesterday expressing concern over skipping and said that the team is aware, and is working on it. He also asked the users to comment and help the zune team.

Anyway is there a fix for this problem. Well officially not. But I’ll mention what some users did to get rid of this problem. It might not help everybody, but definitely doesn’t hurt to try.

Recently we put together a small video just to show the overall speed and quality with which the xbox 360 uses the zune to play all media.

But we definitely didn’t go through the steps on how to do it. In this post I’ll explain step by step on how to play and stream all media with and to xbox 360.

Play zune media with xbox 360:

• Connect one end of the sync cable to zune and other end to USB port on you xbox console.
• From the xbox dashboard, select Media, then select Music, Pictures, or Video.

Well want to start from scratch, delete all media files from your zune and don’t know how to do it. There are two ways 1) directly off zune or 2) using the zune software. I’ll discuss both.

Directly off zune:

• Set the Hold switch to unlocked.
• Press and hold the Back button at the same time as you press the top of the Control Pad.
• Immediately press and hold the Back button at the same time as you press the right side of the Control Pad and the OK button in the center of the Control Pad.

Bought a new zune and don’t know how to redeem your 14-day free trial zune pass subscription. Well I have been asked a few times now and here is what needs to be done.

First sign in to zune marketplace, go to Account Management and click Redeem Prepaid Card. Then just enter your 25 digit code and click the Redeem button. That’s it.

After the trial period ends you can cancel or sign up for a monthly subscription of $14.99 a month or a three month period for $44.97. The pass with automatically renew at the end of the period.

I have put together a quick video overview of how the Xbox 360 uses the Zune to play all media on the device.

I am very impressed with the speed and quality of the Zune’s feature to share all media with an Xbox 360.

I can charge my Zune while it’s connected to the Xbox and picture and audio quality is top notch!
