That is good advice.  Clean the battery terminals and cable ends 
thoroughly.  Use a wire brush.  I've had similar experience where the 
connections appeared clean, but brushing them fixed the problem.  Since 
your radio doesn't work it might be something else but cleaning the 
terminals won't hurt in any case.
