Tape-playing music box
A radio cassette is a portable audio device combining an AM/FM radio receiver with a cassette tape player, popular from the 1970s through the 1990s.
Often called a boombox or ghetto blaster when equipped with large speakers and a handle for carrying, these units became iconic symbols of street culture and personal music.
