Speaker out will kill everything! The biggest trick to making it all work is being able to adjust the levels. For Windows, you can find the sound in your control panel, but hopefully it's there in your tray. Double click it and in the options, go to recording. That brings up a different set of levels, mainly "Line In." With your software on record, and a nice steady song playing, adjust the level so that you don't clip, except for maybe the occasional pop, but as loud as possible. My new computer is too sensitive though and at the lowest level, it's too loud still. I have had to do a lot just to be able to record. The other choice is to "Normalize" the music which is usually and option when converting to mp3.
