Alternator
Do a search for the word 'Alternator' and you'll find plenty of posts on the topic that will shed light (no pun intended) on your problem. At first blush, sounds like your alternator has failed, draining the battery. Even a dead battery has enough juice to power the dash lights and stereo and anything else that doesn't need amperage, but the battery is drained of the current it needs to turn over the starter. Replacing the battery may not be necessary (have it load tested) but if you JUST replace the battery without solving the charging issue, you'll drain the new one (or newly charged one).
