[VoiceOps] MOH server

Mon Jun 4 20:43:13 EDT 2012

+1 again on Asterisk since it has the ability to connect to
icecast/shoutcast streams (one you manage or existing internet radio) or
the ability to just stream from a local directory and it isn't black magic
- http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+config+musiconhold.conf

As Alex said earlier why would you use an appliance when not using one
works so well? I would only go the appliance route if this was a premise
based system and even then I would probably suggest not using one.
