If he's serious about singing, you should really consider getting a decent microphone. Don't worry too much about how to interface to the PC - that can come later. Getting decent audio capture is crucial - if you've recorded mush, no amount of reprocessing is going to get back what you didn't get to start with. > He knows little about the recording process and I know considerably less > (!), so we are both a little stumped when it comes at getting sound in > to the first generation Mini on account of there only being one port, > which I believe doubles up for line in and line out. According to http://support.apple.com/kb/SP65 , that connector is probably just a line-out. You can get USB audio devices which work quite well. I've got one from Griffin, which seems to work quite well. I've no idea what's on the market now - I know mine has been obsoleted...
