[cisco-voip] Music On Hold

[Tim Reimers]

That is what I was using at first-- an old Compaq laptop.

Still considering that for the reasons you mention-- a PC with a CD
player on it's line in would do the same
common CD player advantage, but also have the advantage of internal CDs,
streams,etc...


The main thing I want now is a way to listen in on the stream from my
phone - to occasionally punch a button and easily check to be sure that
the stream/CD is still going right...

Maybe instead of CD-tower, etc you could have a cheapy/older PC as a
music box with the sound cards line/headphone out going to the griffin
iMic input on the CCM server. This way you can play CDs, MP3s, internet
streams, etc from this other PC and change it remotely
(vnc/remote-desktop, etc).
