The Easy On Hold music jukebox now contains special categories of hold music that may help with cell phone music on hold quality: The Simple category contains pieces with fewer instruments, or sparse instrumentation.

Our elevator is a work in progress, so I haven't actually tried it for the intended purpose, but I'm convinced that it will work fine.
You’ll notice that there’s not too much of a difference between the track when played at CD quality and over the phone. All the instruments can still be heard clearly, and the same techniques I used to introduce clipping on the other two tracks had no effect (I could have kept amplifying the track until it did, but it proved the point). And because it’s fairly bland and inoffensive, you’re not going to upset anyone too much if it’s not their cup of tea.
A music on hold adapter has an integrated analog adapter module which allows any and all of your phones to provide on hold audio content to ordinary analog and “KSU-Less” phone systems.

This is the BIGGEST FLAW / WEAKNESSS of weave. Please add a multicast loop option that can play our message on hold file continuously and drop patients in as they call. Otherwise people hear the same thing over and over. This is a perfect way to help introduce patients to the office and market our services while patients are on hold.
The best hold music has few instruments and preferably only one. Simple music handles the change in quality better than a full orchestra arrangement. The latter gets distorted, particularly if it’s too loud for the phone to handle and clipping happens. No one wants to hear a dirge-like cacophony masquerading as “Pachelbel’s Canon in D.”
