If you only want the radio, it should be just fine for your needs.

I have a bunch of cassettes that I may listen to now and then - On my budget of 100 dollars how can I make this loud enough to impress a chick at a stoplight?

sparkomatic is a good paper weight, but like Rich B said, if all you want is the radio it should be fine.

you can't with that radio. for 250 or so you could get a cd player, small amp and some decent door speakers.

Wow, don't hear that name much in serious conversations. But, as stated by others, if your just looking to listen to the news it should suit you.
