Car sitting too long? Things to check? (long)

Just fixed a hose junction in coolant system. It took over a month though due to limited experince, part being impossible to find...etc. I got it started today (yay!) and the coolant problem is fixed but the engine sounds rough. It's idling lower and just a touch more chunkily, slightly less power on the very limited drive I took and there is a strage clacking sound that may be comming from the engine head. What normally goes wrong when your car isn't moved for a month? I checked the oil but am not sure how to tell if its gone south.
Oh, and also my CD player is stuck on pause and won't play. WTF?
Oh, I also used a battery recharger instead of jumping it as the battery had died.
