Title says it all - he's rough on stuff ... well, things fall. We still have story cassettes, and I have story mp3s. The old Fisher Price cassette player is pretty played out. Most of the stuff I see in stores is too fragile to survive the next five years. And, I want it to sound ok 'cause I have to listen too.

Something around $100? Can go higher if it's worth it.

Default still looking

Bought a cheapo boombox at FS and it now refuses to read most home-made mp3 cds.

As mentioned elsewhere in these threads, mp3 boomboxes don't get great reviews.

I listened to three or so at FS recently and the best radio sound came out of the Sony CFD-S20CP - and it has a cassette player to boot.

Anyone have any experience with this thing, or know where to get it for less than the $150 FS price? I missed the $20 off last month ....

Default kaboom

Thanx - I think I need something pretty rugged. It's be nice if this thing lasted a few years.

Anyone have experience with those cylindrical JVC boomboxes? Kabooms, I think ... there's an American model here.

I like the guitar amp feature, but it's a bit pricey for my taste. On the other hand ... it's cool.

electronics these days aren't meant to last five years. Break 'em and replace 'em. Good luck though.

Fisher price and Disney make "kid proof" electronics. I dunno about MP3 tho - that might still just be geared to the adult market.
