							| Boombox is definitely the most common name for it in the US. The other answers are correct, but less common. |  24 Oct 2010

							| Yup, it �s boombox in the Pacific NW. 
 As for "CD player" or "tape recorder", they came in both versions (ones which played cassette tapes and ones which played CDs).  I haven �t seen one in ages.  The one I gave away last year played both tapes and CDs.

							| Here in Chile, it is called a "RADIO" 
 I know it is used to hear a lot of "inputs" but it is our culture to call it that way!
