It may well this to work, but unless you know what you're doing, you generally don't want to plug anything into the mic input except a microphone.
For a mini-disk player, or any other audio device, you want to use the sound card's "line in" input. There's only one of those as well ;-)
The mic input expects a much smaller signal voltage range and although you can usually adjust the player volume low enough to get the signal down, you're then working in a range that may not be optimal for the player's output electronics.
The player's headphone output and the sound card's "line in" are a better match.
