I need to record music onto a digital camera for editing. I can't upload the audio file because the software I'm using won't let me. Right now I'm just recording the sound coming from the monitor speakers, but the quality isn't very good.

I'm thinking of soldering a mono headphone jack to an AV in/out audio cable so I can plug the digital camera into the headphone socket. Is that a good idea?

Hmm, you might want to check out Replay A/V - it's got a "Record what you hear" feature that I just LOVE - it DOES record from yoru speakers, BUT the quality is great - and it's got many other great recording features as well - such as letting you record from the sound card, record, schedule and convert all kinds of streaming audio and video. It works just like TiVo or a VCR on your PC. It's built-in media guide makes it easy to find and save all your favorite streaming media.

Give it a shot, and good luck!
