Default Mp3 to hk

I have a Sony MP3 player which sounds great through the ear buds.
When I plug it into the AUX jack of the radio it plays but sounds terrible.
I had to turn the MP3 volume way up to even hear it. As you can guess I am not an audio geek.
Any suggestions ?

Thanks,

Try a different / better plug.
Also be sure that the mini phono plug is completely seated. A loose fitting plug will make any rig sound terrible.

I don't have another device but I may be able to borrow one to try.
The plug I have is supposed to be a good one but I will try seating it better.
Thanks for the suggestions.
