[asterisk-users] No music on hold?

[Forrest Beck]

You should look at the asterisk-addons package.  There is a addon
module in the package called format_mp3 that will play your mp3 files
instead of using mpg123 (which is a dead project).

I just use sox to convert my mp3's to GSM with something like this:

/usr/bin/sox musicfile.mp3 -r 8000 -c1 musicfile.gsm resample -ql

This also puts it into 8bit mono, which sounds a little better on our phones.

I have a compiled version of sox with added support for the lame
encoder (mp3).  They are RPM's built for CentOS/RHL.  If you want
them.
