I beleive it is because it is a different bit-rate.

The bit-rate has something to do with it... however, I always felt this when listening to other programmes...

I get the feeling that the FM signal goes out through loads of different limiters and compressors before actually getting to your radio, where as the Listen Again audio doesnt. They clearly dont take the listen again audio off the FM as they are able to put stuff out on listen again that they dont on FM (i.e. this competition)... so it could be quite easily that.

But thats just my thoughts, I may be wrong.

Most likely not. Chris would be able to press a button to opt out of the the FM transmission but the Listen again would still hear it. However that would mean Sky listeners could hear it... I see your point.

Aled, are you posting from New York?! Enjoying it?

Thursday's Listen Again audio stream was split into three separate streams, so the clip featuring Rachel saying the secret word could be inserted in the middle. - jc

Chris didn't have a button unfortunately. It was inserted afterwards.

I did post from my hotel bedroom (I couldn't sleep). I had a great time thank you.

Aled,

With regards to the person who asked about Playlists, good to see the plug of the reviews page on the Questions page on the Chris Moyles minisite. :)

Stuart, Orkney
Would it be at all possible to get a playlist for todays show (Monday,8th March). As I cant rememb the name of a song I heard the day on your show!! Thanx Gr8tly
Aled's Answer:
We don't currently put the Music running order for the show online, we do however have a list of our playlist here

There is also a website run by fans of the show - it's not a BBC site but they do list the songs played on the show. You can get that here

Very difficult where I live. I reckon most people in the country will be able to get it within the next year or so though.
