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.

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.

A number of practices answer their phones from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and are “closed” for an hour at lunch. This means that the office is available to take phone calls for just seven hours per day.
The problem, in my mind, is that every single one of these articles misses the point completely. Even if you implemented a call centre system that detected and automatically played someone’s all-time favourite music while they waited, a facility which is possibly not that far off, most music when played down the phone just sounds terrible.
