asterisk users - Dec 2004 - Help with music over intercom.

I am using Console/DSP for an intercom.  I want to play my MP3 
collection over it when no one is using it, like when they do in the 
supermarket.

Can anyone help me with this.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I doubt this code will work if you cut and paste, as I'm just writing 
from memory to give you an idea of what I would do.  First create your 
intercom extension.

exten => 555,1,Hangup(Console/DSP)
exten => 555,2,Dial(Console/DSP,,g)
exten => 555,3,System('script to copy moh.call to moh2.call, then move 
it to the spool/outgoing folder')

the g in Dial is to go on when the caller hangs up -- you will want to 
double check g is in fact the right flag.

Your moh.call file should be written to call Console/DSP and connect it 
to the MusicOnHold application.

Then the MOH will stop when extension is called, so you can make an 
announcement, and will resume when the announcer hangs up when another 
call is placed to the MOH generator.

Good luck,
