External Sound Cards for a Laptop? I have been using my Creative Labs Audigy 2 NX with great results... At the moment, I can not find it on the their Web site ...

I am taking a standard mini-stereo jack to double RCA cable into one of the Line In connectors on the Num...

This could get pretty bad: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00004RHZD.01._SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg Swingin' to Michael Jackson: A Tribute I have played some of these tracks before to some really mixed reviews...

P.S. Software overkill to test them out: CDex, EAC, RazorLame, iTunes, WinAmp, Windows Media Player, and RealPlayer...
