yeah, it's something like that... everytime I checked system prefs for the info it said it wasn't turned on, even though the light indicating use was on, so I just didn't understand what was happening... and it wouldn't show up anywhere for my recording software but toggling the cord was all it took and it's all working fine now. it only took 3 hours of extreme vexation and confusion and feeling supremely stupid because it should work, but didn't yeah, it was great fun...

Okay, I feel super stupid now, but I figured it out... please feel free to mock me I really don't mind

okay, then that's the problem. My Mac Mini doesn't have a "line in" that I can find. which is why I bought the transit audio interface, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Okay, after lots of searching, and reading of threads, I'm more confused than when I got here. I have a Sharp MD Mt77, and a new Mac Mini with 10.4 I bought a belkin mini to mini cable, and M-Audio's Transit USB audio interface. I have no issue with doing this entirely analog, I'm just confused as to the *how* please excuse my ignorance, but how exactly does that work? any info or help or links to how to do this would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance! Pi
