I'm having it replaced in a little bit, but I'm curious about this all the same.

it's the factory cassette radio that came with the car. I run a portable cd player through it(car kit) and it will play the tape(or any tape for that matter) and eject it after about 6 minutes of play. I'll push the tape back in and it will just eject it again. Sometimes it will play the tape, but 'S C 1' will show up on the lcd for the radio and no sound will come from the radio. I'm assuming this means short circuit. Is there anyone who may have experience in this matter?

I think the power source from your CD prolly you have a cigarette lighter plug-in power supply which is not stabilized or it's too cheap disturbs the cassette player, I'm not sure but I had this problem about 12 years ago on my old oldsmobile. They might have different grounds, try running your CD from AA batteries only.
