Advice before i buy

[radangler]

I will graduating high school soon, and getting a laptop for college. I want to begin taping O.A.R. shows SBD feeds from the patchbox, and i was looking for decent, not too costly options for a USB line-in adapter. Over at OARfans.com, i was reccomended this
http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=207&product=154 the Creative Soundblaster mp3+ USB sound card. I was just looking for confirmation that this would be a good idea to get, before i jump the gun and make a mistake. Someone else reccomended a VXPocket, but i don't quite want to drop that $$ at this point.

I'd go with a vx pocket or UA5.  No mp3.
