I have a small * system in my home (1 U100S, 1 X100P, 1 BT101, and 1 SPA2000) to handle my requirements. I would like to add Music on Hold and have been watching the forum to see if something would come across on this topic. The difference I am interested in is getting the music from a radio or someother external source. All references to MOH up to now have been using MP3 files and going

Ok, I'm tearing my hair out trying to get Asterisk moh streaming to work. After several hours jerking around with icecast and muse, I tried to point my asterisk system directly at two streams I know work.

i've been searching the archives but can't find anything substantive on this. most of the music on hold documentation discusses integrating with zap hardware, but i am trying to send it across a sip channel. I have the following in extensions.conf: exten => 2100,1,Answer exten => 2100,2,MusicOnHold(default) and have uncommented the "default" line in musiconhold.conf:

Ok, this falls under the newbie category: Has anybody created any documentation on using musiconhold or call parking? I have found sample config files for musiconhold, but I'm not sure how they work.

Hello, I just can't seem to get the MusicOnHold function to work out ok. I' managed to get the MP3Player app to work out fine, but when I run the MusicOnHold all i get is siliece.

Just the sort of newbie question we all hate ;-) I'm a bit stuck with MOH. I think all is done right and I've read everyhing I can find, but whenever * tries to do MOH, all that happens is '-z: No such file or directory' Yes, I am on redHat. Yes I have installed real mpg123. Yes, it does seem to work from the command line. Any suggestions would be greta, I'm sire

I have an extension setup in my extensions.conf for hold music. ext. 600. If I pick up a phone (polycom soundpoint 300 sip) and dial extension 600 I hear the hold music playing. If I call another extension and pick it up and put the call on hold with the hold button on the phone I hear nothing at all. Does anyone have any experience with these phones and getting the hold button to work?

Thanks to this thread, we got it working too... but have a question... Once this is setup... does it stream forever, or does the stream only start when someone goes on hold/into a queue/etc? If it streams forever, at 24k... it looks like over 7GB/month in bandwidth... so we're not going to want to do that if a) it streams constantly and b) my math is correct. Thanks, Doug >

Does anybody have a good source for hold music? I can see a number of companies on the web that sell royalty-free MOH, but they don't all provide samples. The customer service desk has requested "calming, not sleeping, but calming" and "this is a high-tech company, so make it 'techie' [sic]". Thanks, --Ernest

This is my second attempt trying to get help and I am hoping someone can.
