MiniCube is a specialized MP3 audio player for playing messages & music to telephone callers that are placed on-hold.

MP3 stands for Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)-1 Audio Layer-3 compression format. It is the most popular audio-coding scheme on the Internet. MP3 allows efficient compression of audio files by a factor of up to 12 with little loss in perceivable quality from the original source material. By ripping down audio files into MP3 format, file sizes are significantly reduced, less memory is required, files can be sent more quickly, and yet a high standard of audio quality is maintained.

Multiple MP3 Audio files can be emailed or serially uploaded to the MiniCube and playback can be serially controlled. By default, the audio files are played back sequentially in a continuous loop. Audio files are stored on a Secure Digital (SD) Card.
