How did you check the battery? I'm just curious because the radio and that kind of thing uses far less current than the starter. If you have no other way to test the battery, one thing you can try is to leave your dome light on and then try cranking the engine. If the light dims significantly when trying to crank the engine, the battery probably doesn't have enough power to turn it over. The headlights are really better to watch for dimming. Though keep in mind some vehicles shut the headlights off when cranking. So it's not always an accurate test.
If the lights don't dim at all, I would look towards the starter or power and ground to the starter. From your description, it sounds like the starter may be bad.
