boom boxA self-contained stereo system for playing music. Available in a myriad of styles, a boom box contains an amplifier, speakers and CD and/or tape cassette drives. The CD system plays standard CD-DA music tracks and may also play MP3 and other compressed audio formats. Some units accept memory cards for MP3 files. The equivalent of the "portable record player" of the 1960s, boom boxes are either small, battery-operated portables, or they are large, transportable units that require AC power. Battery-driven boxes typically have an AC power option. See CD player. How to thank TFD for its existence?

The RealLiveSports ESPN Play-by-Play is a boombox (or should it be ``Boomer'' box) that allows kids 8 and older (we don't make up the age limits, we just pass along the strict guidelines) to use a microphone with an ESPN logo and start screaming out play-by-play of their friends' ``Red Rover'' games out in the street. As to audio devices for listening to music, about 40% use desktop PCs, followed by boombox users. The million-dollar question is what is the system's "regular" usage--walkers, picnickers, jugglers, basketballers, readers, Frisbee throwers, playground climbers, runners, tennis players, cyclists, boombox listeners, kite flyers, skaters, sunbathers, bird watchers, people watchers, squirrel feeders--on a sunny Saturday in June, a grey week-day in November and everything in between? |
