Why is hold music always such shit quality even if the call

CIA Niggers don't want you to have a fine waiting experience.

Done voip systems for years and for some reason they still use some shitty 90s standard where even if you upload an mp3 or anything else, it just converts it to a sub 8KHz shitty format I've never heard of except for use in these systems. The sad part is most of them support huge external hard drives for saving calls yet won't allow you to save anything outside this format

To a-law or u-law. Which are literally the only standards that matters for calls.

Is there a way I can convert MP3s to this quality at home? I want to fuck with my roommate.

ffmpeg dipshit

worn out looping cassette that has been playing non-stop for 10+ years

any mp3 converter on standard settings should do it

probably because most codecs designed for voice suck hard at anything besides voice
