There should not be recorded singing during the Mass.
The use of singing and music in the liturgy is always to enhance the quality of liturgical prayer and should never be considered as entertainment.
Everyone should be participating fully which includes singing.
I think there are a couple of exceptions for recorded music (not singing) at Masses for children and such.
With love in Christ.

Sure! But it actually depends on what the priest likes or decides, but as I know the Canonic Law doesn't forbid recorded singing as long as it plays approved songs by the Roman Catholic Church. Since around 1996 (I am not sure of the year, but about 10 years ago) after the II Concilian Vatican it was ruled which songs can be sing at mass. They absolutely cannot be popular songs!

I believe the only "regulations" or limitations that exist have to do with WHEN the music is played such as the Gloria, Sanctus, and such.
I'm pretty confident that no requirement exists on how it is presented (i.e. recordings vs choir).
There are some that would disagree because of tradition, but I don't see where it is against Cannon Law.
oh yeah...approved music!

I used to go to a very small church. They put on recorded music when the attendance was low. So I see nothing wrong with it.

Why don't you ask the priest because all Churches are different.
