     Feif Un: Wow Thanks soo much!! You Mamish saved me the trouble of
     posting a ridiculously long post, covering all the stuff you did.

     I didn't know Rav Belsky mentioned the same thing that has been
     bothering me for years.

     Everything that is Assur, Today we have to find a way around it.

     A cappella Definition see wikipedia below ---->
     A cappella (Italian[1] for From the chapel/choir) music is vocal music
     or singing without instrumental accompaniment,

     besides, I find it more relaxing to listen to a choir/vocals

     than a bunch of pathetic attempts at beatboxing/trumpets/weird sounds
     it sounds like a bunch of "Meidlach!"
     It's not cool!

     The Original

     A couple of summers ago, I was working in an office. During the Three Weeks, my boss would say, "Turn on the tape, it sounds like a cemetery in here." When someone turned on the music, I would turn to my coworker and say, "Now it REALLY sounds like a cemetery in here!!!"

     Are there any CD's available that have just people singing without any attempt at instruments? I would like to listen to songs that bring out the feeling of this time of year. songs about Yerushalayim, teshuva, etc. What type of CD's are available like this?

     HaQer: If you're looking for chumras, then according to these shitas, the CD/tape player or even the radio becomes the "Klei Shir"; making the singing (without music) assur as well.

     Rav Moshe and the M'chaber hold that music (outside a seudas mitzva) is assur all the time because of aveilus for the Bais Hamikdash. Rav Moshe's heter for music is because we need it for out nerves. Why wouldn’t that apply to other times of aveilus?

     I don't know much about the player. I believe it is currently active and playing music.

     someonesbored, R' Belsky would tell you to stop. See my post on page 3 with his letter:
     "There are other forms of a cappella which sound very similar to regular music, although no digital modification is done to the voices. These types of a cappella should also not be listened to during Sefirah and The Three Weeks"

     Wow! a year old thread touching on Halacha that is not closed yet. The real kasha is how we got from S.A. tav kuf samech: gimmel, to what we have today with a multilayered music industry of our very own, and people plugged into ipods all day. For the really adventurous, contemplate what the Navi (Hoshea 9:1) and Mar Ukva (Gittin 7) were trying to communicate. If Hoshea or Mar Ukva were magically tranported to the Flatbush of today, would they recognize us as Jews?
