   The line input on most sound cards is *not* well suited for analog music   
   digitization/preservation. Even if/when you get it working, the results   
   probably won't be very good. I recommend using one of these instead (or   
   something similar):

   I've use one of these to digitize many audio casettes using Audacity. Works   
   great.
