24Six is a Jewish music streaming service developed by Chaim Weiss that provides access to a library of music, podcasts, and videos. It emphasizes content control, allowing users to filter and customize their listening experience based on their preferences.[1] 24Six is available for download on iOS and Android.[2] It also offers dedicated devices.
History
[edit]24Six was established in 2023 by Chaim Weiss.[3] The platform aims to cater to religious communities seeking a curated and filtered entertainment experience. The point being to take only Jewish singers and Jewish songs and put it on a music platform that can even then be catered to ultra-orthodox[4]
Features
[edit]24Six allows users to create custom playlists, collect favorites, and stream content from various devices. All content is pre-approved to align with the values of its target audience.[5] It has offline listening mode which requires the user to only connect to WiFi occasionally.[6]
24Six has dedicated devices, including the 24Six FamilyPlayer, and the 24Six Solo, which only features music and not video.[6]
Reception
[edit]The platform has received mixed reactions. While some appreciate its focus on providing a controlled entertainment environment, others have raised concerns about its alignment with traditional values.[7]
In December 2022, TAG International released a statement criticizing the 24Six media player, calling it "a step in the wrong direction".[2] Additionally, some rabbinical authorities in Lakewood issued a kol koreh (public proclamation) banning the use of the platform.[8]
