Connecting Computer To Older Sony Radio For Sound - Quality Worth It?

Hey Folks well I had a question - I'm going to be staying in an RV for the summer, normally in my apartment I connect my computer to my receiver for sound. I of course won't have the space for this in the RV, so I wondered: I have one of those older Sony radios from the 90s - everybody knows them - it has a cd player at the top, a cassette player at bottom, and a turn-dial radio tuner and those little square speakers.
Anyway, I wondered about connecting my laptop to this radio for sound in the RV - would the radio be able to reproduce the laptop's sound well enough to make it worth the trouble or would the sound come out muddled? I figure it's at least an improvement over using little computer speakers. It has a 3.5mm line in jack that I could use for the connection.

Anyway thoughts appreciated  :P

If it has a 3.5mm line-in jack, give it a go!

The worst that can happen is that it'll sound like shit, and you'll find some other solution.

If my memory serves me well , you might need to put the cassette player in record mode, to recognize the input jack..
