I've been told that MusicOnHold is *incredibly* picky about the mp3s that it plays. I've experimented with the sample and a host of other constant bitrate mp3s, and even some VBR ones, and I can't get any sort of consistent workability. Even the sample doesn't work but maybe 10% of the time. I'm using mpg123 version 0.59r. Does anyone have any advice they can give me on getting MusicOnHold to work the majority of the time? Or... if I need to provide any additional information, let me know.

Music on Hold needs a timer, which is normally provided by the zaptel driver. If not, you will need to use ztdummy or zaprtc.
