Dear Cisco,

Please get some hold music that isn't cheesy. The current pair of 80's shoulder pad dance music and the "Pass the Dutchie" ripoff isn't doing it for me. Here are some suggestions:

Mammoth Mammoth "Fuel Injected" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt0LKrO6Q74
Russkaja "Rock and Roll Today" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9B9pvdtuns
Magma "De Futura" (Edit) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzlMw8jqv4k
Black Sabbath "Turn Up the Night" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNqBLBulDC8

Or even that song played when the guys in "Office Space" take out the printer.

I would totally call in to a conference bridge early just to hear even a little of this stuff, instead of deliberately calling in 2-5 minutes late so I can avoid the stuff currently used.

Kind regards,

All of us

I assume you are talking webex. I think they should let you setup a profile for your phone number, and select playlists. Then when you dial in you get to hear what you want.

No, this is CUCM music.

And that "Die (bad printer) Die" song would be GREAT to listen to right before a meeting. Get everybody pumped up and ready to go!

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida - Iron Butterfly,  I'd ask to be put back on hold until the 17+ minute song is over.

If it is just CUCM you can change it. Make sure you are licensed for it (the music and the feature). We looked into it a few months ago, and the costs to license the music wasn't bad, a couple grand a year for our size, but it is on the back burner as we already have too many projects going on.

Used to work for a place that had a 6 disk changer full of Yanni hooked into the phone system, wanted to rip some Cd's and swap out a few of those. never had the gonads to do it though.  Lawyers, ya know....

I can't access the CUCM, since I'm not in the VoIP group, so I want to go directly to the source, Cisco itself.

Haha, I used to work in place like that... it was literally a walkman or whatever that had the CD on repeat... on one not-so-pleasant day I was really tempted to switch it out with some 2 Live Crew.
