    Anyone else got this problem, or know if it can be fixed?


    Pretty much, attach memory stick, play song, song plays for 5-6 seconds, skips/jumps a bit and moves to the next song (and repeat).



    Anyone any idea? It's getting annoying as i want to actually listen to music with it.



    (none of the above problem is my own, it's my brothers, i just wrote it in first-person to make it easier to read)

    Sounds like either the files are corrupt or they're in an unsupported format. There's an easier way to listen to your music on the 360, instead of plugging in an external memory stick. Check out TVersity, it's a free download, just google it. It'll stream all your media to the 360 from your PC/laptop. It can also transcode files in real time, so if the 360 doesn't support that particular MP3 format, it may solve the problem.
    Hope this helps you out.

    This is the second post today that I've recommended TVersity on, you'd swear I worked for them or something! It's a great little application though. It's being developed by some American students and released for free over the web. Enjoy...

    If the files were an unsupported format, they wouldn't play at all though....

    +1 for Tversity though, tis a good app.

    You're probably right. I just thought that not all MP3 files have the same codecs and perhaps the 360 crashes the file because it doesn't actually support it properly. Just a thought.
    Try reformatting the memory unit in FAT32, make sure that each partition is no more that 39 gigs in size (obviously not an issue if it's a pen drive). That might help...

    Hey again all,


    Seems to be happening with all music, regardless of memory stick. I must try out some CDs on it and see how i get on. I'll let you know how i do...

    how have you set up your 360 sound options. Have you set it at 5.1, stereo , Dolby digital. Are you using phono (AV red and white), HMDI, VGA with optical.
    Try messing with settings, I know with my 360 hooked up with optical with a splitter for the optical from Chorus I used to get a bit of crackling when the leads weren't connected fully.

    But what yours sounds like is corrupt Mp3 files if you ask me.
