I don't have a line out on my recorder so I go from the headphone 
jack to the mic in on the sound card.  As I'm getting sound out 
of my computer speakers I would expect to get something recorded.

Once you have an MP3 file how do you convert it to an audio CD 
file to record on to an Audio type CD so I can play it in my non 
MP3 car CD player? 

Yes I know I'm getting ahead of my self as I can't even get to 
the MP3 part yet.
