asterisk users - May 2016 - Switching between Music on Hold streams. [13.8.2]

Josh,

As he is playing different streams I think he wants to give the users the
option to select another stream.

Each stream should be a separate music class, so switching between using 
the DTMF feature would still work - unless I'm misunderstanding what is 
trying to be achieved here.

Josh,

He mentioned that he is building something for radio stations for people to
listen into. They want to be able to select what they hear. I recently
built a system where people could call and listen to rail road traffic.
Using the g option in the dial string + # was the only way to let them
select.
