Music on hold and Advertising On Hold will help make the most of the time your customers spends with you on the telephone - when you're not speaking to them!Until recently the most common format to play music or announcements on-hold was via a CD player using a pre-recorded CD with announcements saying “thank you for holding, your call is important to us”. The CD provided would play either royalty-free music or the performing rights license would be prepaid. The drawback of the CD player was, that no matter how robust the machine, there was always the possibility that the the player would fail mechanically and so would need to be replaced.
MP3 players are now taking over as the player of choice - there are no moving parts and a wider range of music tracks can be stored. However, a word of warning. If you wish to play music to your callers you must ensure that that royalties for the music are paid. A performing rights license can be obtained from www.mcps-prs-alliance.co.uk
