Hello 99% of all my users are calling from GSM phones, and my system basically just plays some sound files back. The PBX is connected to an ISDN-30 connection. Are there any modules for playing MP3 files, so I can use them with commands like Play() and Background()? And will it have any effect on the quality? Load issues should be a problem, the number of concurrent calls are pretty low. Thanks

If you *really* want to use MP3 files, you'll need to load the format_mp3 module from asterisk-addons package. -- Jared Smith Community Relations Manager Digium, Inc.

So for your ISDN callers, that's probably ulaw or alaw, and for the internal phones, GSM. - Noah
