You really need to be clearer about your terminology. A "stereo adaptor"
is unclear. Does the 1/4" plug have three metal pieces, like a headphone
plug,
or two pieces like a guitar cable plug? If it's like a headphone plug,
you're still
only connecting one channel to the DI. Forget the bits about resistors. You
need to connect the two outputs of your MP3 player together and connect
THAT to the DI box.
Assuming you're in the US, go to your friendly local radio shack store
and buy,
or at least look at the following two parts:

and
Catalog #: 42-2540

Plug them together and you'll have what you need. You can get a longer
version
of the 1/8" plug to two RCA plugs cable.
