Being on hold doesn’t have to be aggravating. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, it can even be something you enjoy!

The DPS is asking the public to help choose the music played while waiting to handle business. Choices run from jazz to pop to rock, and you can even call in and listen to samples before choosing your favorite on the Driver and Vehicle Services website.

Voting runs through March, and the winner will be announced in April. Let’s get in on the fun by creating a playlist to listen to while being on hold.

So for today’s 9:30  Coffee Break, what songs that would make good hold music would you like to hear?
