Looking for a low-budget stereo system for my room

15 years old with no income looking for an audio setup for my bedroom.
I really have no idea what anything is called, but this is what I want to be able to do:

-Play CD's
-Play MP3's on USB stick
-Use my 6th gen iPod nano (touchscreen) to play playlists
-Use any/all of the above as an alarm clock

This will be going on my desk or dresser, so it needs to be small, if possible. I have two Sony DSW speakers from an old Sony LBT-W300 Hi-Fi system my parents bought and use smaller speakers for now, so it would be great if this player thing could use those.

I don't know what I need, so any suggestions would be welcome. I'd like to keep it under $60, but I don't know if that's even possible.

Frankly your best bet is to look at your local Craigslist listings and see if anyone is looking to get rid of some decent used equipment cheap. You're not going to find anything new for $60 or less.

I'm not sure what I'm looking for; what would something that would do all that be called?

You could get a set of Sennhiser headphones such as PX100 for that amount that will probably rival any speakers bought at that amount.

ahh, but I want to use this as an alarm; headphones don't work so well for that . I also want to be able to have music playing while not really paying attention to it, and headphones don't work so well for that either.

Im realizing $60 is pretty unrealistic, soo
bit more than i want to pay, but it seems alright

The wife got me one of these for Christmas one year plays way deeper than the Bose

Hehe ...used to have one of those as a kid in my family home

Confused ... wouldn't your computer do all this? If it's not already in your room, could you put it there?

Well, if we're going back that old, how about one of these?




For those that don't know what this is, it's a wire recorder and plays 78s.
I still have one, 'ceptin it needs to be restored and just haven't found the time.
Oops, showing my age now huh?

Wow, you are old! lol

And mine has a wood cabinet and AM radio in it.
