What are these things called?

I'd like to get one, but dont have a clue what to shop for. *I asked a
guy in the electronics dept at Walmart and he could not figure out
what I wanted. *(Of course I didn't expect anyone with knowledge at
Walmart), but thought I'd try. *I suppose this is something to buy
online, or maybe Radio Shack...

But first I need to know what they're called....

Thanks

Make sure your radio doesnt have a place to plug in stuff like CD
players and Tape decks. My wifes Silverado was like that. It had a
couple of phono jacks hanging out the back for a tape deck. Daughter
liked to listen to music on her MP3. Rat Shack sells a cable that will
adapt the headphone jack on the MP3 player to the RCA connectors. You
can also get an adapter to power the MP3 player from the cig lighter.
