Default No Power

I have a '97 A4 with 60K miles.
My 12-disc CD player has been acting up (getting the "Err" message). Pulled the unit, removed and replaced the CDs, and then reinstalled the unit. Went to turn the key to start the car and... nothing. No lights, no horn, no power whatsoever. I'm assuming I blew a fuse. Where should I start looking first?

Fuse box.
I doubt the CD player has anything to do with it. Dead battery or bad connection at battery.

Battery is good. Kept on a tender. R&R'd the CD player and then "poof" no power.

Checked my records again. Battery is 6 years old. Maybe should start there.

Edit: Replace battery (Interstate MT-78) and all is well. Got six years out of the old Interstate. Always on a Battery Tender when not in use.
