Howdy! Rob,
If this is a Dupe, please forgive Me.
A few hours ago I started writing this Reply but couldn't remember if I sent
it out or not, so I edited it some more and am sending it now.

I am/was trying to use a portable AM/FM/CD/Cassette Radio,
Jensen Model:CD-545 I bought from a Target Store.
There is only one Output Jack, the Headphone Jack on it.

I do have a Dual Cassette Tape Deck here if I had to get the audio from it.

Could I connect the output of it to the Line In jack on my pc to use it
with Audacity?

I saw the USB connector in the illustration, but for me to get the audio
into the product You and Mike have, I still would have to 'Transform' the
Impedance from Speaker to Line level when using my Jensen Radio.

Above I wrote that my HP XP pc has MS's Media Center OS in it.

I thought that the Audio Components on HP's motherboard would be better than
"Plain Jane" audio on a regular Sound Card plugged in a motherboard,
or was built-in on the motherboard of a XP pc produced before MS designed
the Media Center version for XP.

So my question is: "Do I 'really' need USB Input to get the sound into
Audacity?".

Thanks Again.
