Sample 5 – “Thanks for holding. Dazzle your clients with delicious cookies featuring your company’s logo! Orders are available for batches as small as 200 cookies! Someone will be with you shortly.”
Even if you have a VoIP telephone system, your call will eventually go across the PSTN (like the traditional landline calls), where network operators are able to do whatever they like. Plus VoIP and mobile operators use high-compression codecs that degrade the overall quality of the sound. A good codec can take a 9600bps audio stream (toll quality ISDN voice) and take it down to the required bandwidth by a factor of 10 or more.

"Messages on hold are often one of the most painful of customer ordeals. But when done right by Scott Greggory and crew with actual humor, it takes a customer hassle and elevates it to a customer experience you tell others about.

I agree with you. The music phone service provider use is never the best! Like you, when I switch to my calendar on iPhone and ask my caller to wait while I do that, it would be great to have one of my iPod tracks play to him until I pressed the green bar again to return to the call. Surely one could set that up independently of the phone service provider: just a matter of substituting my music choice for my voice until I clicked back off hold??

It makes sense to keep these callers informed while they wait with Custom On Hold Messages… informative messages, mixed with music.
