So modern technology, even with the most advanced VoIP business phone systems, has not improved the plight of the on hold song. If you are interested in learning more, check out Tom Scott's explanation at the Milton Keynes Museum, in their Connected Earth gallery.

The song was immediately polarizing, as far as these things go, which the company's executives,saw as a good thing; it generated buzz on Twitter, and gave people something to talk about when they got on the phone. Some people hated it, Cornell said, and others loved it so much they downloaded it. Cornell was invited to do a live performance for one company, where sales staff listened to the song all day long. It wasn't meant to fade into the background, and perhaps that's why it's lasted so long.
In an ideal world you’d never put a caller on hold, but since most of the time that’s not a reasonable expectation for those tasked with receiving calls, your hold button is necessary. And, when it comes to your business, silence is not golden. Dead air on the other end of the line is not only a waste of a golden opportunity, it can leave callers frustrated, questioning whether or not you’re still even on the line.

This is your opportunity to demonstrate professionalism and communicate directly to your caller. You should provide as many sections as required, depending on how long you expect the average caller to be on hold. Usually, 6-10 sections of dialogue are sufficient.
On-hold messaging is also great time to encourage consumers to spend. For example, you can offer customers who spend more than $99 free shipping, customers who order 3 items a 4th item free, etc. Think “upsell” with your ads on hold – you’ve got the customer on the line patiently waiting to (hopefully) spend money.

Regrettably for my purpose, the software requires that you add a "message on hold", which makes perfect sense for this devices intended purpose, if not for my own use. But I worked around the problem by recording a second of silence and then adjusted the software the effectively play only my cheesy elevator music.
