My only concern would be whether they would suffer any damage if they all have a common power supply ground. It's unlikely, but might pay to check how each connector socket ground is connected to the respective battery -ve What do you mean by "which is impossible for the MP3 player" ? You're not able to get an adapter ? Remember the old saying - "The difficult we can do now, the impossible takes a little longer".
