radio turns off by itself?

just had a quick question... today i was in the parking structure at my school and just sitting in my car and listenin to music when my car shut off. Is it conserving power? or is there something wrong...

You may have drained too much of the battery's power that the car went into reserve so you can have enough juice to start up again.

If the engine is off and my radio/cd is on, it does turn itself off after 15-20 minutes. I believe this is done not to drain the battery

After aprox 15 min. after unlock the car or switch off the engine, all electric devices in the car switch off.
