Little Big Planet question

[Nintendork]

I'll try to make sense asking this because I cant seem to find a decent picture of it to clarify, but at random spots in the various levels there is something that looks like an old fashioned radio. My wife and I can't seem to figure out if it's just for decoration or if it serves some purpose.

Anybody have any idea what I'm even talking about? If I can find a picture I'll post it to help clarify.

I was actually wondering the same thing the first time I saw the radios. It wasn't untill I started messing around in the level creation area that I found out that the radios are the source of the music playing in the levels.

Yeah, the radios are something you can configure when you're building a level, setting the trigger sphere and listening radius, etc. I haven't messed with them too much, but if you go into the tutorial area for rolling your own levels they explain them at some point.

Yep, pass within the trigger radius of the radio and it plays the song stored therein (it makes perfect sense in level creator, especially when introduced by the velvety tones of Stephen Fry. :)) A lot of levels have 'jukeboxes' made of multiple radios, each one controlled by a switch so you can choose the bgm for your level. Kinda pointless when everyone just chooses the Go Team anyway.

Thanks for the info guys! I'll get around to messing with the level creator at some point.
