Question
As is known, it is permissible to listen to vocal songs during the Counting of the Omer, but recently the vocal sound is slightly altered by computer to resemble musical instruments more closely. My question is: Is it permissible to listen to such songs? If not, may I listen to a song and hope it was not edited by computer [as it is not always identifiable]?
Answer
Hello
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita, one should be stringent with all vocal music, which is considered 'musical instruments', and is prohibited during the days of the Counting of the Omer.
