The only issue with that is that the mic input is mono, whereas the line-in is stereo (and possibly better quality?). But of course, I can live with it, it was just if it was easy to do, the line-in is preferable - plus it opens up a whole possibility of recording from vinyl, or mixing desks...

Slightly offtopic - i'm interested in getting line out on my iphone (1st gen), and when I've saved up my couple of dollars, I will order a ridax connector. However, I would also like to get line-in to work. Has anyone had success with that? I'm wondering if the method described in this thread...
