   Just the way it is, I'm afraid. When your boombox was designed they   
   probably set it as near equal as they could. Since then relative   
   loudnesses of the media have changed, and that is what you are   
   hearing. If you have any technical savvy, you could perhaps get inside   
   the box and adjust everything to level it back up.

   You can fuck off with your boombox at the beach. Use headphones and   
   stop being an inconsiderate little twat. That's the last bit of advice   
   you are getting.
