Ha thanks, (Dah)man.
My old one was a Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro; I placed an order for a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Play! Mind you, I only use the USB sound card so that I can hear my co-host(s) through skype without them picking up on my recording (my voice and the music, mixed together). Being able to record (only) my music AND my voice, while at the same time being able to hear my co-hosts, really complicates things. Vista doesn't help, either. The RFN crew can get by with just one (generally speaking the integrated) sound card.
EDIT: Oh yeah, sorry, I placed my order on Amazon.co.jp for 2,232 yen. All I need is something that spits out sound to a headphone jack.
