Default Skipping Issue Workaround

http://www.zunerama.com/articles_010.php#070104_zune_story

"Some users have found that skipping or stuttering occurs in the first few seconds of songs. The skipping settles down after a few seconds, but then recurs with the next song.  Through some collaboration in our Tech Support board, we've found some common characteristics that can cause this. The symptom occurs with Zune players that have been synced to capacity or near-capacity, and where a significant portion of that content has been downloaded through a Zune Pass subscription.  We've passed those clues on to Microsoft (via David from Zunester), along with this surprising workaround: If you set your backlight to Always On, the symptoms disappear."

Yes, 'cause the backlight has oh so much to do with song playback and how much data you've got.  I wish I could use the rolley-eyes smiley here.  Anyone here encountered this error?  I have not, but my Zune is not quite at capacity.  This problem will no doubt be fixed in a future firmware update (crosses fingers), but in the meantime, I will be keeping this workaround in mind.
