This sounds pretty useful!

A USB audio interface and amplifier, the PowerWave is basically an
external digital sound card. No software is necessary to hook it up,
just plug it into any USB port. It measures 5.75 by 3.75 by 0.9 inches
and weighs 3 ounces or so.

Hook up any microphone or line input to the PowerWave, and then go wild:
Digitize your old record collection, tape your niece playing the piano,
learn to speak Spanish. It's up to you.

The PowerWave sells for $99.
