I don't know whether attenuation would be needed, but shouldn't be hard to set up a separate potentiometer if needed. It's also possible that the mp3 output might not be sufficient? I'd like to know this myself, as I haven't tried this yet. A switch may be added to cut the radio signal when the mp3 is playing through the radio's amplifier and speaker, or it may only be necessary to detune the radio so no station is being received. Another approach that would eliminate the necessity of modifying the radio would be to hook the output of the mp3 player to the input of a wireless AM transmitter which could be hidden in some convenient place.
