Music On Hold Download
The music on hold download is rapidly becoming the way on hold companies deliver their on hold productions to clients. The music on hold download is generally seen in two different types of on hold music delivery scenarios:
- The music on hold download as a means to transfer a music on hold mp3 to a client. In the last couple years, the music on hold CD has been rapidly replaced by the music on hold mp3 file format. For clients using a standard mp3 music on hold player such as the ProDigital PD USB60 and the OHP 8000 made by On Hold Plus, the on hold companies simply email the new music on hold mp3 to the client, or send it as a secure music on hold download via a online file transfer service. Or with some providers, the music on hold download may come via ftp.
- The music on hold download is provided by on hold companies that use remote load music on hold players. In this scenario, the player is updated with the music on hold download without any intervention from the client actually using the on hold player. Remote load music on hold players are most often used by companies that have a large number of offices that need to be updated at once. For most other clients, remote load systems may not be as desirable since they tend to restrict the client from choosing a new on hold provider if needed, since relatively few on hold companies support particular remote load systems.
