Bad idea to use analogue recording through a soundcard. You get added distortion from
the digital to analogue (DA) conversion from the CD player and then more distortion
going back to digital (AD) through the soundcard. If you want to EQ a song then do it
digitally. Rip the song using a CD ripper
(eg. CDex). Then use the software Cool Edit or Goldwave or similar to EQ. Then
encode to MP3.
