I am trying to hook up an external music player (a minidisc recorder) to play music through my laptop and then record it in mp3 format. I have the correct lead (for headphone socket to microphone socket) and the software to do so (musicmatch jukebox plus which allows recording from an external source). I have recorded from the laptop to the minidisc recorder so I know the cable is ok and that the transfer works. The problem I am having is that I set up the software to read from the line in or mic in (I have tried both) and I adjust the volume settings for recording from the system tray then I play the minidisc but I am not getting any input from the minidisc player. When I record from a cd in my internal cd drive, everything works fine. I can't think what is wrong as I have the correct lead and software and I have tried all the possible settings. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
