Zune player seems to have a bug in its firmware. It appears with some purchased tracks from the Zune MarketPlace at their beginning. The player skips the track for a fraction of a second and continues again. The same doesn't apply to non-DRM songs...
Some users on the ZuneScene forum about the problem: "I have the same problem. I agree that it may be happening with ZuneMarketPlace downloaded songs. It's true that I hadn't noticed anything before signing up for my Zune Pass and unlimited download, while listening to my own songs." Another one: "Strange, when I fast forward till the last seconds of one song and let it play and go over the next song, it doesn't skip. And if I replay the same song (one click to the left), the song that had skipped before, doesn't anymore. The skipping always occurs at the beginning of the song. Goes to show that there's a big problem with the internal software/decoder, not with any corrupted song file." We will keep an eye on this and let you know what is the problem on our forum: http://www.zune-online.com/forum/index.php?topic=38.0

EDIT: the skipping problem will be fixed in mid-March with the v1.3 Firmware: Zune Firmware v1.3 fixes skipping
