Multicast will prevent them from hearing the beginning of the audio file every time they are put on hold. It will not cycle through different tracks however. <div><br></div><div>The answer to both of these requirements is the fixed audio source as Jason mentioned.</div><div><br><div> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">-Ryan</font></p> </div><br><div><div>On Jan 22, 2009, at 4:50 PM, Jason Burns wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">It sounds like what you would want is a Fixed MoH Audio Source.<br><br>There is no way to really accomplish what you want by uploading the files to the CallManager server.<br><br>With a fixed audio source you could just dump line out of some device into your MoH stream. It would be up to the external device to play the different files in some sort of loop. An iPod or CD player on repeat works just fine for this (when I test in the lab).<br> <br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 4:10 PM, Christopher B.
