Okay folks here is a chance to win a free digital multimeter.
What prompts this is that I keep hearing a particular music-on-hold (MOH) song on lots of different tech support and customer service systems. So I figure this song is probably one of the standard royalty-free MOH songs that comes with the Asterisk phone system or something. You can hear the song here.
To win the prize, post a comment with a link to the web page where this particular MOH song can be downloaded.
I think it’s called Opus Number 1, and it can be downloaded at https://www.emp3s.co/mp3/opus-number-1-tim-carleton-darrick-deel.html
It’s actually really nice background music for work!
Yes we have a winner.
It turns out that others have noticed this song. See for example The Strange Story of Cisco’s (Sort of) Beloved Hold Music in the JAN 22, 2014 issue of the Atlantic magazine.
I really enjoyed the This American Life story (which is linked in the Atlantic article) on one man’s quest to identify this music.
The name of the song is Opus No. 1 by Tim Carleton & Darrick Deel and it can be accessed/downloaded via the link below.
