You can get a CD/MP3 player with USB port and what looks like an input jack for 61.5235 EUR(inc postage and discount code) from Maplin UK.

i had the adapter you are looking for, its basically a cassette tape with a wire coming out of it that goes into the earphone socket in the mp3 player. I bought it in one of the electrical shops like dixons i think for about a tenner. works fine.
