Is it just a CD player or foes it have a radio as well? If so, you need one of these:

(It's shown as 'out of stock' on the Asda website but I bought mine in their store. Other shops sell similar products but they might cost a few pounds more).

You plug it into your cigarette lighter socket and plug the cable into your MP3 player's headphone socket. Then you tune your radio to any vacant frequency and, using the 'up' and 'down' buttons, set the transmitter to the same frequency.

Alternatively if your CD player has a 3.5mm input socket you can connect it to the headphone socket of your MP3 player with a cable which has a 3.5mm plug on either end of it. (Available from most 'pound shops', etc). You just need to set the CD player to 'input', 'line in' 'aux' or whatever else the manufacturer has chosen to call the relevant setting.

However if your CD player has no radio and no input socket and no radio, you won't be able to use it listen to your MP3 player. The only input it has is from the reflected laser beam, bouncing off the grooves in a CD's surface. There's no way that you can instantaneously get a CD burnt with the output from an MP3 player.
