I am/was tring 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.

I have a Dual Cassette Tape Deck here if I had to have line level audio,
but couldn't I just connect the output of it to a Line In jack on my pc if
I used 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 built-in on the motherboard of a XP pc produced before MS designed the
Media Center version for XP.

Thanks Again.
