hello aaron.

first of all, using the mic input from your sound card may not be
such a good idea. as this plug is designed for mics it will not
perform very well when you record music with it. at least, that's my
personal experience. your sound card should have a "Line In" input on
the back, and that's the plug you'll want to use.

to sample your music use a program like Sound Forge. you can download
a demo of Sound Forge in the "Download" section of this site.

good luck!
