Had to call up a company and their hold music was Metallica’s Enter Sandman. I liked that. Got all the way to the final chorus before I got to the person I needed to talk to. What I find pretty interesting is that the wait time was briefly interrupted by someone picking up, but when they put me back on hold the music picked up where it left off instead of starting from the beginning.
Who said anything about lossless freaking FLAC? A 96kbps MP3 would still be leagues better than some hold music I’ve heard. Like seriously, sometimes I swear I’m listening to a Fisher-Price sing-along book that laid on the course of a demolition derby for a couple years.
