You could always buy CD/MP3 players - cost about $30-40 - and just
copy whatever MP3s you wish to a CD. The CD/MP3 player can be piped
through a stereo using a "car kit" which is just a dummy tape
cassette.

There is tons of it available to d/l to your computer (from usenet
groups) and which can then be transferred to whatever.

alt.binaries.sounds.1940s.mp3
alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.1950s
alt.binaries.sounds.78rpm-era

and many more groups for sundry tastes.
