[asterisk-users] Playing mp3-files – will it b e OK?
Hello 99% of all my users are calling from GSM phones, and my system basically just plays some sound files back. The PBX is connected to an ISDN-30 connection. Are there any modules for playing MP3 files, so I can use them with commands like Play() and Background()? And will it have any effect on the quality? Load issues should be a problem, the number of concurrent calls are pretty low.

If I were you, I'd transcode the files to alaw and play back the alaw version, so that Asterisk doesn't have to transcode them for every call (which is a waste of CPU cycles). If you *really* want to use MP3 files, you'll need to load the format_mp3 module from asterisk-addons package. You will also need to take into account that the music will be GSM compressed by a GSM mobile network, and that gives reasonably poor results in must cases. Over ISDN, the results are excellent.

Hi Harry - 99% of all my users are calling from GSM phones, and my system basically just plays some sound files back. The PBX is connected to an ISDN-30 connection. Are there any modules for playing MP3 files, so I can use them with commands like Play() and Background()? See asterisk-addons for the mp3 module. And will it have any effect on the quality? The callers should hear the file at the codec-quality of the channel they're connecting on. So for your ISDN callers, that's probably ulaw or alaw, and for the internal phones, GSM. - Noah ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
