dear sam2- the question still stands, even after quoting the Poskim that you mentioned. Why is recorded music “assur” ? Why add to the already harsh minhagim of sefirah (originally it was only for marriages). And forgive me, but to say that ‘even singing’ is assur then is so far removed from reality and something that the “zibbur “einon jecholim laamod bo”. Isn’t there s halacha (there is….) that, in aveilus, “holchim acharei hameikil’?And, by the way, in some yeshivos, they did allow recorded music and in other yeshivos, they even allowed to shave every erev shabbos….so, there are plenty of meikilim….
