Music on Hold with Commercial Announcement

Hi all,
I've a CUCM 7.1.3 and UCCE 7.5.8 environment. I am looking for an MOH solution where the system would play MOH music with commercial announcement. Does anyone know or recommend a third party vendor where I can purchase the MOH music that also includes custom commercial announcement ? Has anyone doing this type of MOH in their environment ?
Thanks all in advance !! I appreciate any inputs / suggestions !!

Your best bet is to use rtsp, I think CVP 9 is the first version which supports it.  I've not tried it myself, but unless you build you own mix this is the way to go.
The other option which I've used is to just have a bunch of wav files and create some sort of naming convention where music is one name and commercials is another, then create an app which plays them randomly.

  • Music On Hold with trasfers

    I have a CME 8.0/CUE 8.5 system. The MOH works properly when you place a call on hold, but there is no MOH when the scripts either transfers to a voicemail box or performs an external transfer. Is there a way to correct that?

    Am not good at scripting but following could be the pointers..
    1. MoH works for users, because the MoH resources are assigned to their phone device pool via MRGL. I dont think this logic applies to any script.
    2. If possible, create a node which can take the call to MoH resource before it is fully transferred to other user or voicemail.
    3. The logic is humans does need MoH because they do take significant time to transfer but scripts are quicker than human being & hence the MoH need might not be so severe. Caller even might not realize a need of MoH if the script transfers the call.
    If it helps, pls rate the post.

    hi Danny,
    You could have  a custom  moh file  uploaded on callmanger  with the announcement. Here is the procedure :-

  • Is there in easy way for end-users to regularly update the music-on-hold audio file (.wav) - without having to learn or install CCA?

    I want to give client the ability to change the MOH file themselves - they want to create a new announcement audio each week.   They're not going to be comfortable using CCA.   I was hoping to let them use FTP (from a PC Desktop) to replace the MOH file in Flash with updated .au file.   Is this possible?
    If not, what's the Easiest end-user method to have them place the new MOH file into the UC560?
    Thanks in advance!
    Sam

    Hello Sam,
    There is an audio port on the front of the UC560. What my clients have done is develop their MOH announcements with associated background music and upload it to an iPod or MP3 player. We plug the audio cable from the iPod into the MoH port and configure the MoH port via CCA 3.2(3). Select the Configuration - Telephony - Voice Features-Music on Hold and select to enable the external MoH port.
    As your client wants to add or change the announcements, they just need to play the track and loop it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Music on Hold working correctly on incoming line on hold, but not working on another, hearing Tone on Hold instead

    Hello, we are experiencing an issue where we have a local main number and a toll-free number both coming into the Cisco switch as PSTN incoming and routed to the same voice translation rule line. Two weeks ago we updated the Music on Hold (MOH) file in flash, first disabling the previous file. The new file appears exactly the same as the previous file, and we successfully set it through the CUCME portal. The new MOH file is playing correctly when a incoming user is put on hold when dialed in through the local main number. However, when a user has dialed in through our toll free number they are instead hearing a Tone on Hold beeping tone (I googled that multiple times to realize what it was we are hearing).  Anyone have any ideas as to why or how it could be working on one incoming line but not the other and how to resolve?

    Not sure how the Express works but on the CuCM you need to go into the administration pages and change the MoH file number there.  I had this issue a few years back and changed the information there.  I also made sure the router was setup correctly with the incoming lines.  Make sure that the 800 number is not coming in on (1) T1 and the local numbers on a different T1, if you are using T's.  If not make sure you WIC card is set correct for hold music.

  • Default Music on Hold on 64 bit Lync 15.0.4551.1005

    Hi all,
    I've noticed something strange on one of my deployments when it comes to music on hold, both on the Lync desktop client (15.0.4551.1005 64bit) and the Polycom CX600 hardphone.
    I set the global csclientpolicy to enableclientmusiconhold 1 and left the musiconholdaudiofile as "", which is the recommended course of action when using the CX600s to enable music on hold. The CX600 works perfectly, but the Lync client does not.
    The Lync client shows the correct file in the ringtones and sounds menu, and the file exists, but music on hold will not play when a caller is placed on hold. Callers hear the initial hold ding, and then silence.
    It appears that the Lync client will ignore the enableclientmusiconhold when it is being assigned by the global csclientpolicy. Creating a new csclientpolicy with enableclientmusiconhold 1 and musiconholdaudiofile "" will allow music on hold to
    function correctly on both the Lync client and the CX600.
    Does anyone else have the 64bit client installed who can verify this is the case and I'm not imagining things? And if so, should I log it with Microsoft as a potential bug?
    Cheers,
    Leigh.

    Please run the command Get-CsClientPolicy to check the parameter EnableClientMusicOnHold is set to true.

    You may install the Cisco CallManager Music On Hold Disk that **ships with your Cisco IP Telephony Applications Server, or you may download one of two following files via the web:
    ciscocm-MusicOnHold, which is a set of wav files providing the entire music selection from the disk
    ciscocm-MusicOnHoldSampler, which is a small set of files offering a sample of music available on the disk
    ** I just looked and these files can be found at the attached link with CCO Login (Right down towards the bottom of the page)**

  • Multicast IP address keep changing on music on hold

    Hi
    I am trying to set up multicast for music on hold on the cucm 9.
    on the cucm, I enable multicast audio sources on MOH server, using base IP 239.1.1.1, and set increment multicast on " ip address"
    however the multicast IP address keep changing, sometimes its 239.1.1.1, then after a while it suddenly change to 239.1.1.2 etc..
    here is the config on our srst router ( which specify the multicast ip is 239.1.1.1):
    is there any way that the multicast ip do not keep changing as its affecting the MOH at the moment.

    Hi Rachel,
    If the Increment Multicast on radio button is set to IP address, each MOH audio source and codec combination is multicast to different IP addresses but uses the same port number. If it is set to Port Number, each MOH audio source and codec combination is multicast to the same IP address but uses different destination port numbers.

  • Music on Hold: Best Practice and site assignment

    Hi guys,
    I have a client with multiple sites, a large number of remote workers (on and off domain) and Lync Phone Edition devices.
    We want to deploy a custom music on hold file. What's the best way of doing this? I'm thinking
    Placing the file on a share on one of the Lync servers. However this would mean (I assume) that clients will always try to contact the UNC path every time a call is placed on hold, which would result in site B connecting to site A for it's MoH file. This
    is very inefficient and adds delay onto placing a call on hold. If accessing the file from a central share is best practice, how could I do this per site? Site policies I've tried haven't worked very well. For example, if a file is on
    \\serverB\MoH\file.wma for a site called "London Site" what commands do I need to run to create a policy that will force clients located at a site to use that UNC path? Also, how do client know what site
    they are in?
    Alternatively, I was thinking of pushing out the WMA file to local devices via a Group Policy, and then setting Lync globally to point to %systemdrive%\MoH\file.wma. Again, how do I go about doing this? Also, what would happen to LPE devices that wouldn't
    have the file (as they wouldn't get the GPO)?
    Any help with this would be appreciated. Particularly around how users are assigned to sites, and the syntax used to create a site policy for the first option. Any best practice guidance would be great!
    Thanks - Steve

    Hi StevehootMITS,
    If Lync Phone Edition or other device that doesn’t provide endpoint MOH, you can use PSTN Gateways to provide music on hold. For more information about Music On Hold, you can check

  • Extract a Music on Hold File

    I have taken over a position in a company that has a Cisco Call Manager.
    I know basic administration, but am not familiar with the rest of the system.
    We have Call Manager 6.0.1.2000-3
    The company has a need to change the Music on Hold and the Marketing Dept. has asked for an electronic copy of the file so they can work with an outside company to produce a new recording.
    Via a web browser in Cisco Unified CM Administratior I went to "Media Resources" > "Music On Hold Audio Source"
    I see information listing it as stream Number 2, but It I have no idea how to say extract it as a wav file.
    Is there a place I can go and see the file to copy to my local PC.

    You'll have to do this from the command line. The following post contains a document outlining the steps to download the file.

  • Music on hold stops in forwarded call

    Hi,
    We receive Lync 2013 calls into Anywhere 365, a workflow where we can pick up incoming calls. So an outside user calls, and we pick up the call on an agent, let's say Lync1. Before transferring the call to Lync2, the call will be placed
    on Hold, and the uotside caller hears MusiconHold. Now when we have transferred the call, and the Lync1 has left the call. Lync3 and Outside are connected.  When Lync3 places the call on Hold, the oustide caller hears nothing. 
    We have tried it in other ways like calling directly from outside caller to Lync3 and tha works Ok. Also Lync to Lync internal works fine.
    We tried with Lync to Lync external. So an external Lync calls the same Lync1 user. When Lync1 places the call on Hold, the Lync1 screen says "Call on  Hold"  But the External Lync does not give any sign of being on Hold.
    Does anybody recognize this?

    Can you reproduce this first issue with other Lync users?
    Please run Lync Logging Tool to collect the log information on Mediation Sever.
    When you tried with Lync to Lync external, did you mean you make a Lync call between internal Lync user and external Lync user?
    These users should be Enterprise Voice enabled.
    There is no music on hold option if the Lync user is not an Enterprise Voice user so if a non EV user puts someone on hold there will not be MOH.

  • 3rd party sip device music on hold not working.

    When creating that COP file, I added the music on hold feature, meaning Music on hold is supported. After the customer installed the COP file into CUCM, created the new device, and configured MOH to play Cisco's sample audio, the MOH does not work. All other features work including Enhanced Message Waiting Indicator, Call Waiting, and Shared Line Appearance.
    When they create a new device in CUCM they follow these steps:
    1. Device > Phones
    2. Add New
    3. Select MH iOS (this is the 3rd party device that has been installed on CUCM via the COP file)
    4. Select Next
    5. Fill out the fields
    6. Select Save and Apply Config
    Please provide the solution or input why it is not working.

  • UC320 Music-on-Hold ... details... ?

    1) What's the real media format the UC320 expects for internal MOH files?  Knowing means we can prep the file beforehand or give info to services that provide professional recordings to customers, and minimizes conversion loss or distortion.  ... if it's uLaw, wav, 8 bit mono, etc...  it makes it clearer for the producer.
    2) Also, is there a way to extend the internal MOH playing time beyond 1 minute?   We have a new customer (dental practice) that often has 3-5 minute hold times and uses a service with their old system that loops at 3 minutes giving dental facts and special offers. They tell us 1 minute is not enough.
    We havent used external input, which I assume would be "whatever's playing" ... but the customer wants to keep this clean and no added parts or iPods sourcing the MOH file.

    Hi,
    • The internal music on hold file is limited to 60 seconds.
    • Each AA prompt file is limited to 120 seconds.
    • The supported audio file formats are MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, and AIF.

  • Well I just installed Leopard and I'm on hold with the Philippines

    Crap it seems updating your system is more trouble than its worth.
    I'm talking to some moron in the Philippines who can't active CS2 on the computer it's installed on.
    I see now why folk are mad at Adobe. these guys at off shore help really suck.
    I must say I'm having fun yelling at this guy.
    crap. now I'm on hold with bad music.
    I'm typing this as its happening.
    hitting ok

    Just an Update for all you caring Windows folk.
    Well, I had to wait a good 2 minutes before speaking to a human at Customer Support who put me through to Tech Support. After having a nice chat, with Tech support, I now know that the Activation is not linked to the CPU and that a new system is considered a new computer. so if you have a test drive with Leopard (This would appy if you had 2 different Windows systems too) you need to deactivate the one on Tiger if your second activation is on a Laptop or second computer.
    This seems a little silly but thats how it is.
