Playing music via the radio

The radio in my 56 works, with some reservations. It hums a bit and the sound quality is medium at best.

When driving by myself, I'd like to be able to listen on occasion to my mp3 player.

I can get a device that plugs into the antenna and allows me to play over the current radio, but it's $129 plus some installation. My thought is that I won't be happy with the sound.

I don't feel like spending the money to convert the AM radio by tearing it apart and reconstructing it.....

I seems logical to install a couple of decent or at least adequate speakers under the dash and wiring the MP3 player in the glove box....

Has anyone tried this? I'd appreciate any suggestions but especially specific suggestions about brands and models.

FWIW my taste runs to classical; I do not need a system that makes the fenders spring in and out with each bass note....
