There is a secular song about a man taking advantage of a woman because she’s under the influence. Even not frum people were disturbed by it. I am a BT and this song was popular when I was becoming frum.

Imagine my surprise when I was playing a mainstream frum CD for my kids (not a children’s cd) and a song that is very obviously a cover of it comes on….

I have heard people object to music like Tali Gerzbergs beautiful Ani Maamin because if you don’t listen to the lyrics it seems like it could fit on the radio. People have an issue with folksy guitar songs like Waterbury (not talking about their covers but about Tatty My King etc ) because it’s not typical I guess. But I never heard anyone object to this song covering a song essentially about r@pe . Presumably people don’t know.

One account is $10
Two are $15
And six are $20
Just looked this up because I’m having this issue now !

So then I can't. I need different accounts. It's not something I even thought about before I signed up because to me it is so basic.

like I said, of course you can. You just have to pay per user which is obvious for a subscription service.

It’s one account, you have to pay per user.

It is no different than the frum movies That I watch sometimes (the tisha bav ones) Where you have to pay per viewer.

I used to have Amazon Music. It worked the same way. If I started playing on one device it would disconnect any other device if it was playing at the same time.

24/6 does not have Omer Adam. I think they only feature artists that are actually frum/Orthodox/full time Kippa wearing not just traditional. I agree that this is a good decision. Yes, I may view moving clips of Omer Adam performing beautiful, kosher music for soldiers and I think what he does is amazing but I also know that our kids view singers as celebrities and really look up to them. I think it's right that 24/6 only features full time Kippa wearors/Orthodox.

I think they also (generally) only feature frum songs by frum artists that sing both Jewish and non Jewish songs. Or at least songs that are love songs they block. Example: Hanan Ben Ari is Orthodox and has beautiful (in my opinion) music. On YouTube I discovered a cute (very benign and sweet!) love song he sings. It is NOT featured on 24/6. I totally agree with that decision. I'm glad they feature his Jewish music though!

I do think that they're not strict about non Jewish songs sung by frum people that are "accepted" and "generally appropriate" and aren't love songs - example Shulem Lemmer singing "October Rain" or songs like "A Million Dreams". I'm totally fine with it because I am SO grateful that my youngest set of kids don't have to go through YouTube finding Jewish music like my older kids did. I understand that other people are sensitive but BH this is SO great for our family!

I am strict about Podcast access for kids. Definitely need to go through those carefully because plenty of great and popular podcasts (ex.
Inspiration for the Nation and Meaningful People) have episodes that are for adults only or at least older teens and up. They're not inappropriate, they're just not age appropriate. And I would be much stricter about that than the music!

Please share your 24six BLOCK list. or singers you find objectionable.
Thank you!!!!

If they are frum singers, isn't this request LH? It sounds rude to exclaim online for all the world to see which frum singers to block. (Almost like asking to name posters you blocked in imamother)
I don't have this device and probably wouldn't get it if I'd feel uncomfortable with lots of songs, but if you already did you should decide on your own what you're comfortable with, or ask someone in your circles/hashkafa privately.

You probably would be uncomfortable with Nissim Black (though his songs are very powerful).

You might consider blocking categories like
DJ/Remix
Middle Eastern (if you'd be uncomfortable with that style)
Comedy (some is a bit irreverent although very funny)
Audiobooks (look through the list)

Go through the artists in "Israeli" and see if you're okay with them all.

We don't know you!!!! Some people consider none of the songs objectionable and some will consider them all not ok
What exactly are you hoping to get by posting here where the women fall within the full spectrum of this question?
