Ever since boom boxes started coming with CD players in them, Line In jacks
are rare. Maybe they exist on high-end boom boxes, but other than that,
their absence reflects the fact that they had been there mainly for
connecting portable CD players.
As for direct reording with a mic and MD portable--several years ago I
dragged out the only mic I had at the time---a consumer-grade Radio Shack
mic!--plugged it in to the original MD, the MZ1, and recorded a lot of
background sound effects for a recording project. The results were
excellent. I believe that your wife would be pleased with the results, even
if you did use the Mic In jack.
But, don't use a mic that needs what is called "phantom power."
