I have setup a fully working ISDN PBX system using asterisk and queues. At the moment, the Music on hold (MOH) starts a new playback for every caller, therefore starting them from the beginning of the song each time.
I would like it for a song to be continuously playing for all callers at the same time, and if a new caller were to join the queue, it would not start at the beginning, but would join in the same place as the other callers/song. I can’t seem to find out how to apply this.
Any ideas guys?
I’m don’t have the same problem you’ve described. can you post us the relevant sections of your dialplan?

I am also playing WAV’s not MP3’s in order to stop MP3 crashed/cpu usage.
