music on hold

[coniglio]

my chairman is requesting a particular piece of music for music-on-hold. It's called "surprise symphony" by Hayden.
i called two vendors so far and neither of them has it. besides going to the Wiz and buying the CD and illegally recording it to my music on hold unit, how else can i find this? thanks.

The only way to obtain a legal copy is to get satellite/cable to get you music by symphonies. As far as specifying the musical peice, that my friend is impossible as I went through the same thing. you need a licensed vendor who is authorized to reproduce/play music for a bsuiness entity. By the way, don't try the illegal methods, i have been hearing more and more lawsuits against companies that do not have authorization to play music for their bsuiness and are not using a authorized vendor. Crazy, but anything goes these days....

thank you. And we are a law firm so anything illegal is out of the question.

Hey, you're a law firm. Have your lawyers call the recording industry lawyers and work out a deal.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. 8)

You can apply for a CCLI permit that will alow you to use the music. You will have to keep track of what you recorded and how much it is played. (A real pain in the neck on the paper work)

Separate question for TCOMANALYST:

Since you work at a law firm, do you by any chance use the Charge Account Feature in your switch? If so, please email me directly at rachelle.l.cassetta@census.gov. You may be able to shed some light on an issue that I have been having. Please see the rather long (13 replies)post on this topic.
