I've had a portable Phillips C10 CD player for about 4 years - and
often pondered this point. Then I had the bucks to buy a 'new' (shop
soiled) radio/cassette (about 6 months ago).
I asked the shop about this - the'd never done this before. They sent
it off to the local distributor/fixit shop who added a 3.5mm stereo
jack for my CD. The 'upgrade' was free. It works regardless of the
normal audio source (radio/tape) so I presume that the jack interrupts
the circuit somewere between pre-amps and vol/tone control. As it
cost nothing - I presume it can't have been that difficult to do!
It still works fine!
