[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk not starting - SOLVED!

The running installation of Asterisk (CVS-HEAD-07/28/04-13:36:42) has a 
different set of muisc on hold mp3s in /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3 than the "not 
working" Asterisk (CVS-HEAD-08/06/04-14:55:13):

CVS-HEAD-07/28/04-13:36:42:
  sample-hold.mp3

CVS-HEAD-08/06/04-14:55:13:
  fpm-calm-river.mp3
  fpm-sunshine.mp3
  fpm-world-mix.mp3


sample-hold.mp3 has no ID3 tag, but the fpm-*.mp3s in the newer version of 
Asterisk are having ID3 tags. As soon as I delete the fpm-*.mp3s and copy the 
sample-hold.mp3 to the newer version it works like a charm.

Somebody should strip the ID3 tags from the mohmp3s in the CVS.


There is also a note about that in here:
  http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+config+musiconhold.conf

  "Strip out the ID3 tags from any files you add to this directory."

I guess, the one who did this (ChangeLog)

   -- Added licensed hold music from FreePlayMusic

forgot to strip the id3 tags.
