Portable radios for camping!

I'm going to Schwagstock next week and I'll be there for 5 days. I would like to bring some sort of radio with me. I have a couple nice shelf systems to choose from but am unsure of how to power them longterm. I have an AC to DC converter so I have a socket to plug into and I've also got an Optima Yellowtop in addition to the battery already in the truck (DieHard probobly). I could potentially recharge either batter via jumper cables but that may take a while and cost a bit in gas.
I'm basically looking for a sustainable or rechargable power source/stereo so that I can use to jam for all 5 days and not have to budget my ability to chill. Any ideas?
I've thought about some sort of hand chargeing battery starter but don't know where to find one. A cheap but very loud boombox with batteries could suffice also, but everyone I've seen that isn't old as fuck is a peice of shit with no volume. It seems only the shitty old ones know how to crank!
Help!

I recently bought a hand cranked flashlight for my recent camping trip as well as a just in-case. It came with a cord attachment for plugging into cellphones and mp3 players; after about 5 minutes of cranking surprisingly gave out 3 uninterrupted songs.
For me this was the best solution as I didn't want to lug batteries or chargers or converters out into the wilderness, but still wanted to be able to listen to a few tunes periodically.

They make crank radios. Just crank for like 3 min then youve got tunes for like 5 hours i own one, and its keeps ya sane in the woods... but the 2CI doesnt help much. LOL
