Meetme with background music

Do you mean you want to have music playing during a meeting? Or just when people are waiting for the meeting bridge to start

That is actually entirely possible.
I assume you want this to be an automatic thing?
It would take a little bit of custom dialplan, but its totally possible to make happen.
The way I would set it up is upon creation of a meeting and someone joining the meeting, i would have asterisk bridge a 'ghost' call between MeetMe and a generic queue. The queue would simply be one that would never get answered, but would queue the call indefinitely.
The queue you could assign the music you wanted played.
I'm sure it would work. There might be some coding magic to have the system disconnect the bridge call when the meeting is over, but nothing that cant be done.
I don't have time to code it today, but I can on Monday.
(if someone comes up with some alternative code or way to do it, that would be great too).
THere are actually 2 or 3 other ways you could do this...do you want to play mp3 music? or do you have a specfic source you want played?

I'm curious tooooo

Hi

1. My boss want me to play the music and he feels it make listerners much more interested in conference, he have good collection of CDs.

Warm Regards

Besides being annoying, music CDs are copyrighted intellectual property. You would need to pay royalties everytime you played a track. There have been a number of cases recently where the music industry has come down hard on music pirates.

Hi Dickson

Any progress in coding ?

Thanks a lot

Ok, not that I really think that this is a good idea to begin with, but here's the code as promised. Tested it on a couple of revisions, seems to work.
At the very least, gives some examples of dialplan codes that people might find useful.

What it does.
When the user joins the conference, the system bridges a queue into the meetingroom to play music...in the background.
When the last real caller leaves, the queue music is dropped.

How it works:
The system sets each real caller who joins a meeting as a "MARKED" user, but does not set the music 'call' as marked. This way, when the last user leaves a meeting, it will disconnect the music automatically. This differences is achieved by using a variable in the .call file.

Installation:

Open the /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf file

Past the code below between the ======= symbols
Save the code.

Open FreePBX
Create a ringgroup (i used number 600, whatever number you use, match it to the variable in the dialplan
SetVar(meetroom=600)

In the 'extension list' in the ringgroup put in any invalid extension number
Point the ring group to a custom failover destination
custom-meetme-music,s,1

Create a Queue. I used 5000 in my example, you can use any number you want, just match it to the variable in the dialplan
SetVar(meetmemusicnumber=5000)
Leave the queue defaults. This will allow a system to queue a call forever. For this code, it will just play music forever.

Save your changes, click the "RELOAD" button on the screen and call your ring group number and test.

[custom-meetme-music]
exten => s,1,NoOp(&& MeetMe with Music Dial Plan &&)
exten => s,n,SetVar(meetroom=600)
;set this to be the same number you dial to get to the meeting room.
;this code used a ring group "600" to execute this code

exten => s,n,SetVar(meetmemusicnumber=5000)
;the queue number you assign to play music

exten => s,n,MeetMeCount(${meetroom}|count)
exten => s,n,Gotoif,$[${meetmemusic} = 1]?joinmusic
