Abstract
A method is provided for enhanced audio conferencing services. A request is received and authenticated for enhanced audio conferencing services. A calendar for the user is accessed, and scheduled conference calls of the user are determined from the calendar. A list of audio content for the user is accessed and provided to the user, such that a selected audio content from the list can be played in accordance with the scheduled conference calls. The user has options to play the audio content in between conference calls, louder than the conference calls, softer than the conference calls, and in one speaker while the conference calls play in another speaker. The scheduled conference call is called into so that it plays, and the selected audio content is played in accordance with the selected option. A trigger can stop the audio content and play the scheduled conference call in its place.
