Boomboxes: Turn It Up!
You may remember a time before Sony Walkmans and iPods when boomboxes were the preferred method for mobile music. The portable music device, also popularly “known as a ghetto blaster, jambox, wogbox or radio-cassette, is a device capable of receiving radio stations and playing recorded music (usually cassettes or CDs), usually at relatively high volume”.1
