A PBX or Key system is a telephone system that brings wires from all phone extensions in the building to one central control box. Some popular PBX or Key phone brands include NEC, Avaya, Mitel, Toshiba and Nortel (Norstar Meridian). If you have a business telephone system you only need our on hold media player in order to get on hold messaging.
Message on Hold starts with a great script. A basic script consultation is included with every order. One of our script consultants will review your script and verify pronunciations of any special terminology, as well as provide suggested verbiage improvements, if necessary. For custom script orders, your consultant will take your ideas and source materials and transform them into customized scripting that will engage your callers. Our experienced staff will work with you to create, revise, and finalize your audio script so that it’s ready for studio production. We’ve helped businesses of all sizes, and within various industries, ensure their scripting will keep their callers informed and engaged.
The most common codecs are G729 (compressed) and G711 (non-compressed). They are designed to compress human speech, and often cause a loss of audio fidelity — which is worse in some languages than others. On hold music that has been specifically designed for that purpose, to be used with VoIP systems and codecs, can sound great. But it is not easy to come by.
There aren’t many things people hate more than being put on hold when they call your company. They expect to talk to a person and to be treated like one, and instead, they’re ignored and have to spend time waiting for someone to answer. It’s annoying, and it can cost you business. Yet, there are simple ways to keep people on the line if they’re on hold, and the best one is to write an on hold message script.

- Audio file names should contain only upper and lower case letters, numbers, underscores, and a single dot ‘.’ symbol only.
However, if there is no other option but to place your customers on hold (perhaps during a busy season), you need to make the experience as pleasant as possible.

No list of top 10 “on hold” songs would be complete without an appearance by one of Motown’s finest groups. You may find that moment when you are taken off hold to be a “miracle” of sorts, depending on how long you are kept waiting.
Currently the on hold music starts from the beginning every time. Our on hold file has office information, bios of our doctors, as well as dental tips and services we provide. Since the on hold plays from the beginning every time someone is placed on hold, they end up hearing the same thing every time. We would LOVE the ability to choose for our on hold audio to loop. And when someone is placed on hold they just start listening to where the audio recording is currently on. So they get to hear different parts.

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.

For a more modern example of a bad choice of hold music, let’s take an example I have to endure on a regular basis, Month of Sundays by Passenger. At CD quality it’s got lots of interesting stuff going on, which you’d imagine might be ideal to distract someone from the fact they’re being kept on hold for ages. However, playing it over the phone it’s simply too busy. As soon as the brass and backing vocals kick in it just sounds yuck.
