Will I fry my sound card?

[SPYDERIX]

Hi,

I was just in the Windows forum and was told to post my questions here...here goes:

I like to listen to winamp radio, and I want to be able to record the songs from the internet radio. The music that you can listen to streams off the net, so there are no files to download.

I was wondering that if I install a winamp lug-in called "line-in"...

...Can I plug a cable into my headphones jack and plug the other end into my line-in jack on my sound card without wrecking my sound card?

I just want to make sure that nothing crosses within the sound card.

Anyone know the potential outcome of my future experiment?

Thanks,
Nate

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!

It shouldn't hurt it man, if the signal from your headphones jack is not pre-amped much or not at all ....

There's no problem with doing that - the speaker jack doesn't care where the music goes to, and neither does the line-in jack care where the music is coming from.
