SYMPTOMS
When you play a group of audio files on your Zune device by using a playlist or by shuffling, you may receive the following error message:

This item has expired

After you receive this message, some of the audio files in the group may be skipped.



CAUSE
When you play a group of audio files on your Zune device and any of the files have expired, the Zune device displays an error message. The Zune device then skips expired files until the device finds a file that has not expired.

The Zune device displays the error message only one time. It does not repeatedly display the error message when the device finds other expired files in the group.



THINGS TO TRY

 * 1) Remove the expired content from the Inbox. Alternatively, resync your device to update any protected content.
