I am using window7 can you suggest me any music software for it?

You can record your music on hold in MP3 format (there are many recorders supporting it) and then convert it to 8bit mono PCMU (format supported by Quadro) using EMS (Epygi Media Streamer) application.

Does this work with Epygi system as a replacement for the poor EMS software?

Guess not.. :-/

The EMS not running as a service is a right pain!

A reasonable and very versatile converter is produced by NCH Software called Switch Sound Converter. It can convert almost any sound file to ccit u law 8 khz 8 bit for music on hold

I agree, sorry Epygi, what where you thinking? It wouldn't be acceptable if a Quadro had to be manually switched on after a reboot. Nor is it acceptable the hold music needs to be manually switched on either.

Better would be to fund further development of VLC media player to do what EMS does rather than waste further resources on EMS.
