Answer
Champ,

It sounds like there is a serious wiring mix up.  You should check the wiring to the player.  I would use the same power wires used by the radio, and be sure the ground wire is attached to the car as closely as possible to the player.  Also, how are the speakers wired to the player?  If the speaker wires are spliced into the radio speaker wires, you must be sure the radio and mp3 player are not both on at the same time.  It definitely is a wiring issue that needs to be addressed immediately before electronic damage is done.  Hope this helps, Scott
