No, not a mike connector....you need to use the "line input"
This input takes approx 1 volt of audio which is standard for all equipment with "line out" connectors....usually a 3.5mm connector or could be dual RCA red / white connectors. (Radio Shack) ....electrically and functionally identical.
The "mike" input has much higher sensitivity ....down in the millivolt range and the impedance will not match - you will get totally distorted and basey audio.
You could also use an FM transmitter and tune say 88.1 for your mp3 audio. I have satellite radio on 88.1 and mp3 audio on 88.7
