Music on hold > New mp3 players make on hold audio easier than ever

If you've been relying on CDs or cassette tapes for music on hold playback, you're working too hard. And if you're considering entering into an expensive monthly contract with an on-hold provider who provides 'internet downloads' on equipment that will have to be installed, you'll be paying too much.

Over the last year, the industry's equipment manufacturers have risen to the occasion with the introduction of mp3 players to the market.
Labs like Nel-Tech, Pro-Digital and Premier Technologies make getting on hold marketing messages onto your phones faster and more affordable. It's plug and play technology; no installation required.

The players work using a USB 'thumb' drive--so named because the drive is about the size of an adult thumb--to transfer on-hold production files emailed to you as mp3 files. If you know how to drag folders around on your computer, then you can do this. In fact, my 9-year-old can do it. Watch our short video tutorial to see how easy it really is.

The benefits?
  • Speed. The delivery is instanteous because it's via email. No more waiting for your CD or tape to arrive in the mail, or an internet download overnight. As soon as you approve it, it's emailed to you.
  • Reduced costs. No more shipping costs for CDs and tapes. And no expensive installation costs in order to have your messages downloaded over a dedicated fax or phone line. You plug these babies in and walk away.
  • Permanent storage on your hard drive. If you like to rotate your on-hold CDs or tapes each month or quarter, you know they can be a hassle to store or protect from damage. That problem is eliminated.
The players retail from $300-$400. Learn more about the players and music on hold at www.easyonhold.com/pricing or call 1-888-798-HOLD (4653).
