Music On Hold MP3

The music on hold mp3 is on its way to replacing most of the outdated legacy music on hold formats still available.  Because music on hold mp3′s can be distributed online (by email, ftp or online file delivery services), they do not require a physical product such as a tape, cd or digital card to be shipped.  This results in cost savings for shipping and time savings since you no longer need to wait for a shipment.

Players such as the ProDigital PD USB60 and the OHP 8000 made by On Hold Plus, support music on hold mp3 transfers via their standard usb flash drives.  In fact, most of the manufacturers of music on hold devices we listed have current music on hold players that use mp3 exclusively for transferring and storing your on hold music.

If you are not familiar with what an mp3 is, it is simply a compressed file format for storing audio digitally.  If you are familiar with “jpg’s” or “gif’s” for your digital photography, then just think of the music on hold mp3 as a “jpg” for sound instead of photos or graphics.  By “compressed”, we mean the resulting file size of your music on hold mp3 is much smaller than if you used a comparable cd quality wav file.
