My CD player takes 8 AAs. : )
Point well-taken though!


8 AAs is a lot of batteries for a CD player. If it's a boombox, you'll
probably be further ahead looking for some way to power that off of the
wall.

This CD/AM/FM player is actually designed to be used in the shower, so
I'm going to stick with the batteries. I'd estimate that the batteries
last for about 20 hours of CD play (which I think is quite acceptable).
I'm most-probably behind the times--I'd expect that an mp3 player would
provide more performance for the same number of batteries.


For about a year of listening to CDs, you could get a "shop" or "jobsite"
boombox that uses the same batteries as your cordless drill. Some will
even charge the batteries if hooked up to wall power. (Makita, why doesn't
yours?)
