If we learned anything from Napster, it’s that music doesn’t come for free. While there are a few free music sites out there, there are plenty of royalty-free websites for finding hold music, but keep in mind you may have to pay a subscription fee or download fee.

If you’re of the mind that your business could and should use Top 40 or other recent tracks, you will have to pay royalties for the right to use them.

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.
Instead of writing to inform people or to entertain them, you need to write your script as a way to create a conversation. You need to imagine what someone would say to another person and then put it on the page. Don’t be afraid if it feels like you’re talking to yourself — that just means you’re writing well.
