Hi all,

I have another message up seeing if someone can help me figure out how to get line input on an HP Omnibook XE2, but anticipating bad results (my HP experiences have been generally lousy), I think I should research external sound cards that meet my extremely modest needs.

Essentially, I'm self-producing segments for a radio show I host, and would like to be able to dump stuff off my portable cassette deck (and maybe someday MD recorder) onto my computer, then put an audio bed under it with a simple multi-track program and then record it to CD-R.

The question is (assuming I can't get this &^%$ sound card to take line input) what USB devices would y'all recommend to me? Please bear in mind that my needs are simple and I'm not into really serious recording, so price is almost my top priority.

Thanks for any and all help!
 
Lordy....as little as possible...
Essentially, I'm looking at a two-year-old laptop with 3.5 GB of hard disk space (total). Spending more than $500 Canadian ($300ish U.S.) is halfway to getting myself a bitchin' desktop that would solve all these problems...but I have all these great peripherals for the laptop, so I'm in no hurry to ditch it.
So...$100-$200 U.S. would be good, but it'd still be nice to know what out there is good (even if it's too expensive). I don't even know if $100-200 is in any way reasonable for a solid piece of hardware or if I'm just fooling myself.

Thanks for the info, guys....

...any opinions on the Ego Sys U2A? It's been recc'd and seems pretty simple, and kind of cheap...
