Hi Robert, Thank you for your time on the search. I think what I need is something more like this unit:
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?parentPage=search&summary=summary&cp=&productId=2104026&accessories=accessories&kw=audio+mixer&techSpecs=techSpecs¤tTab=summary&custRatings=custRatings&sr=1&features=features&origkw=audio+mixer&support=support&tab=techSpecs Where all the inputs are active at the same time, not just a single one switched on. I'd have to get line adapters and a mess of cables though - I guess I was just hoping for something that was "ready made" for the small stereo jacks and impedance rating that computers and small devices like the iPod output. I miss Radio Shack. They were my favorite store when I was kid, but they left Canada a few years ago. Unfortunately the online Radio shack doesn't ship to Canada directly. The chain that replaced them him is sub-par and don't carry all the same stuff. Oh well, I appreciate the effort, I'll keep searching. Thank you.
