Just wondering, but if you provide your clients with music on hold with their systems, what music do you use, and what do you use as the input? Since I'm considering getting a system for my home, any recommendations for hold music would be appreciated. Thanks.
You need to use Royalty-Free music. As far as a source, feel free to send me a PM or look at my signature.
Good point. Thanks for the tip!
Edit: I like your samples! I have to say my favorite is "Latin Shake"
I just realized my DEMO had expired on the Player. Did you get any audio when you clicked on the player?
Yes there is audio, it all works fine.
Since I'm considering getting a system for my home...
Actually since it's for your home you are free to use any music you wish. It doesn't have to be royalty free since there is no business or commercial use. However that doesn't mean you can't use Marc's services. He has some great on-hold music.

Oh! That makes it even more convenient! I have some royalty-free style music on my computer that I think would be good for holding entertainment. Thanks for the information- that saved me a lot of trouble and maybe even some cash!

Good catch! I read his post, but that line didn't sink in until you made your post.

I'm a firm believer in recording your own MOH (MarcHaycook's solution looks awesome.) In this way you never have to worry about copyrights and you have full control over what your customer hears or doesn't hear.
Slightly off topic- don't leave them on hold for long. Even the best MOH will upset a caller to your home or business if you abandon them.

I assume you mean having a custom production done by a pro such as Marc, not rolling it yourself.

It's good to know I can use whatever I want- I have been considering using the song "Children" by Robert Miles as one of my hold songs. Thanks everyone!
I have received the best feed back with Big Band music. Tommy Dorsey. Offends no one,upbeat.
