Folks,

I am trying to format a file for a client for their music on hold.  Their conversion spec is 8bit/8khz mono .wav (u-plaw).

I have been unsuccessful in having this sound reasonable after it goes into their AVIA phone system due to the GSM compression.  I can get the converted file to sound reasonable, but once it's out of my hands and actually in the system it sounds like shit.  I realize there is a good deal of degradation due to the GSM compression, but am at a loss what to do to improve the quality.  Anyone have any experience with this and have any tips?

Thanks,

fritz
