The OP may think of a microphone jack as line input as it
could be used as such when added inline with an attenuator
available from Radio Shack; I've kept mine handy for a very long
time for possible future use.

Why would a RADIO have a MIC input ?

He's talking about "Sony Walkmans", so presumably the ones that
have a microphone so you can hear what's going on around you. I don't
know how common that "feature" ever was, my impression was it faded out
with time.

Of course, that forgets that the original poster wants something with
speakers, so any "Sony Walkman" won't fit the bill, since their whole
purpose is to be used with headphones.

Plus, of course, they won't be stereo microphone inputs, so there
goes the stereo effect of whatever you feed into it, even if there
was a reason to feed an MP3 player intended to feed headphones into
another unit intended to feed headphones.
