I just need a basic 1 cd player with "decent" sound and AM/FM in the
$100 range.
I have been looking at the Phillips FWM143, which is $120 at CC but
online at New Egg for $80.

Any comments on this model or any readily available alternative in
this price range?
Would this system be at least modestly better than a $35 crapomatic
boombox from Walmart?


It is hard to know since most of these are built for appearances and
shelf appeal, not sound quality. The only way to know is to grab a
few of your CDs and try out the various players at the local shops.
