Hold Music @ Virgin Media
 

Hi All,

I know how awfully strange this question is going to be but hey some of us gotta be sad to even sad/groovy people ratio i guess...

Anyway, does anyone know what music Virgin Media play when your're on hold? I know there are a few tunes, the one i want has no words and its played when you call the movers centre and a load of other departments too. If anyone has a link to the tune or something that would be fantastic. Its not the looped one that restarts every 10 seconds or something.

I tried to find this out one day a few weeks ago and have searched everywhere to no avail. Now the challenge of finding this god dam thing is really bugging me i wont give up lol!!!

If you know, or can find out you are amazing and i'd love your research skills!

Thanks guys. I really would appreciate your help here. Maybe even a mars bar in it!

The last time I phoned Virgin, the music was Dire Straits & if I remember correctly it is the track 'On Every Street', or at least a sample of it!!!

Re: Hold Music @ Virgin Media
 

I've tried this before but to no avail. ANyone got any ideas??????

I didn't think anyone would know but thought it might be worth a shot...

Re: Hold Music @ Virgin Media
 

It could just be a commercial music piece designed for call centres - it might not be something obtainable to the public.

Is it awful Question?...!

I can record it for you if you desperatly want it.
One of the best ways you can record it is by using a VOIP phone nowadays

www.nch.com.au contains loads of telephony programmes that uses the sound card on your laptop/pc to capture the audio. Giving you almost CD Quality

If you have a dial up modem....
1) Download TRX from www.nch.com.au for free as a trial
http://www.nch.com.au/trx/index.html

2) Dial Virgin Media as you normally would
3) Press record

Though beware if an agent pics up as part of DPA you must inform them the call is recorded.
Also with the Music there is copyright involved as that track may not be a Royalty Free song

If you have VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) phone as I do
Then you can....

Use the VCC software (Virtual Call Centre) software available from NCH for free as a trial (I have it purchased for business reasons)
By downloading Virtual PBX system connected with UPLINK 2 SKYPE.
http://www.nch.com.au/pbx/index.html

Download skype from www.skype.com (your first call is for free), after than you need a subscription which is £2.23 inc VAT a month to make unlimited calls to landlines in the UK

With the Virtual PBX system you can set it to record the call from the moment you dial.

Using the Wave Editor also available on NCHs website you can trim the audio to start as and when you want and loop it for as long as you like and then save it as an MP3

Hope that helps
