Default Newbie amp question

I have a fairly old amp its about 30 years iirc older than me. It only has
one aux port which is taken up by my cd player. I also have a minidisc
player that to use I have to switch the cable over. I am now looking to
connect my xbox 360 to it. Is there something I can buy that will allow me
to have allthree plugged in so I don't have to constantly switch cables
about?

You should be able to buy a switch box in Maplin or Tandy.

What you need is an 'input expander'!

These are cheap and OK if you don't keep pulling the wires on and off (or
they fall apart inside):

These are better but more money:
