That's a good choice, jdc. However, I already have one. Although it has all the right features, it does not have the quality sound one would expect from a good boombox. I'm thinking of something that I can take outside & enjoy listening to, while lounging or working. Another feature that was on my want list, of which I had forgotten to mention, is an included USB port. With that one could make up a bunch of playlists on a a few small thumb drives, & be able to switch whenever you want. Ya...I know.. a Lot of wishful thinking...
