However, that sounds like a lot of work, as I would have to split my music on hold songs into 60 or 90 second increments, just to get my announcements in.
And it wouldn't seem like a smooth transition if, after my announcement, I go on to a completely different moh song. 1). Music On Hold for 60 seconds (/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/queue1/moh1.mp3) 2). Announcement 1 (/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/queue1/moh2.mp3) 3). Go back to Music where we left off, for another 60 seconds (/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/queue1/moh3.mp3). 4). Announcement 2.... Etc. Unless I failed to understand the point you were making..... Thanks for the discussion, Richard! ~~Aaron _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
