The cord you have probably won't work for this purpose. The mike cord would be kind of an if sort of a deal as it would pick up a lot of background noise and nothing in stereo to say nothing of a 4 track system.

Would that make it pick up the sound? I've been wanting to do this myself but don't feel like buying an expensive USB turn table for the purpose. I know that I have a cord somewhere that has 3 plugs on one end which are all color coded and then the other end has one connector. I remember using it to get my stereo speakers to be the output for my DVD player. I don't know if this makes sense because I'm not really sure how to explain it, but I'd appreciate any help you can give me.
