One thing to check with the music players with line in, would be that
they have good enough quality for your needs. If they are anything
like the rubbish quality that laptop line-in/mic inputs are, then you
might be in for an unexpected disappointment. Most laptop mic-in are
extremely noisy, just so the laptop supplier can save on a few
components.
