Sounds like an opportunity for an app! Can you imagine? An IVR that lets you select your hold music, streams it on whatever your multicast IP address is, and you're cooking.

AFAIK, There isn't a play list feature for MoH (yet). Recently, I've hoped there was such a feature since current installs are on UCS's and virtualized so no way to use the USB MOH AUDIO adapter for a fixed feed, so need to use live MOH on SRST router for that currently. But if CUCM had playlist feature it would solve that for 2-3 sites I have dealt with recently. You could join a bunch of WAV files together as a single MoH file though.
