Radio 2 music "skipping"
Discussion
I hope I'm not going mad here. I'm a full time R2 listener and over the last week, I'm sure it's sounded like some songs they play have skipped - like personal cd Players used to. I don't think it's the car as the dialogue is absolutely fine, it's just the songs.
Has anyone else heard this or am I just going loopy?

I've noticed this over the past couple of weeks when listening to Radio 2 in the car. It only happens during the music, never on the DJ stuff in between. It is getting to the stage where the music "jumps" for a split second a few times during each song. All the other stations I listen to are not affected.
. I listen overseas va Tinternet and have not noticed it either with Tunein radio, or iPlayer.
However one thing that often bugs me is old tracks where half the sound is missing. An example being Elinor Rigby you can hardly hear the vocals, just the string quartet. Same sort of thing happens with Waterloo Sunset.
I have written emails to complain but only receive generic twaddle as replies. My guess it is something that only happens with digital output and cannot be heard by their engineers.

I think I'm correct in saying that the vocals in Eleanor Rigby are only on one of the stereo channels. It could be that the source you're listening to is mono, so you're not getting the vocal channel.However one thing that often bugs me is old tracks where half the sound is missing.

Glad it's not just me then!
Have noticed it a lot over the last couple of months when driving Lincs to Leics in the morning and the same in the evening on the way back.
It happens on everything. This morning it was during the live performance by Sophie Ellis-Bexter as well as the 8.30am and 9am news bulletins.
Only notice whilst driving though and we only use FM not DAB in the car.
Maybe the two RDS transmissions are slightly out of sync when it switches between them?
