Music on Hold Choices
Customers often prefer multiple choices for MOH (Music on Hold) options other than the standard Star2Star offering of 3 songs. These standard songs are very “middle of the road” selections that do not contain large variances in volume or frequency range.
The G729 encoding that we use is more highly tuned for voice and therefore music, which utilizes a greatly expanded frequency range, will never sound exactly the same as the original source. However by making careful selections the tonal quality is optimized. Please also bear in mind that there can be Royalty License implications when uploading a music selection.
There are many sources of “Royalty Free” music that are specifically designed for on-hold environments. Once such source is available at link Customers can purchase a one time license for a number of Music on Hold / Background selections.
