There’s even a fairly steady stream of surveys and news articles on the subject, all of which confirm that hold music is one of the aspects of contacting call centres that really drives people nuts. Some studies even go as far as to suggest that the use of bad hold music is regularly viewed as bad customer service.
If your on hold content, well, sucks, callers are going to call you out on it. Twitter Feedback is hardly new, but there are certainly a lot of people tweeting with the hashtag #onhold who will tell you a thing or two about what they like, and what they don't, while they're waiting to hear from a company. Maybe you'll be surprised to see just how grim it can be... check out this sampling of tweets to see the good, the bad, and the UGLY.

Here’s an example of some royalty-free music that we use both at CD quality and hold music quality.
The default LinkedPhone configuration will simply route calls to you and your users when customers call your business phone number. It’s easy to set up business hours, a welcome greeting, and voicemail greetings with a basic configuration.
Whether your business is using a traditional phone system or a VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone service, AyerPlay can continue to meet your on hold program needs. For VOIP users, we will simply produce your on hold messages as an mp3 or WAV file and send to you via email for easy downloading to your VOIP system. The result is a professionally produced AyerPlay on hold program that tells your callers they made the right call!

Length – if your callers typically wait 2 minutes at a time, then at least 2 minutes of programming should be the goal. The idea is to ensure the callers don’t hear repeated messages every time they call. A typical on-hold message is 4-8 minutes in length.
1.Most Hosted/Cloud PBX systems play the on-hold message from the beginning each time the call is placed on hold. 2. Because of the hold music starting at the beginning each and every time, if you have a 4-minute music on hold message created, the only folks who will hear minutes 2, 3 and 4 are those you leave on hold for that length of time
There are companies that offer you a 'free' on hold demo, 'free' script writing, 'free' updates etc, the cost of which is recouped by getting you into a lengthy contract.
