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

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!
