I believe the answer is:

crystal set

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'radio' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sort of rock song collection put together' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'rock' could be 'crystal' (crystal is a kind of rock) and 'crystal' is located in the answer.
'collection' could be 'set' (set is a kind of collection) and 'set' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
