Recording on ipod (was: nano recording volume)
Chronon:
I think in dan gii's case the recording through the headphone jack is plausible. On the iPodLinux site they list the photo as only being able to record via "microphone". So at least in principle that target has the hardware to allow it.
It is not clear to me that the nano or video have this capability.

Unless Apple has been lying to us, you have no microphone input through your 5th generation's headphone jack.
That leaves a very scary probable explanation for the results you were getting.
Through the act of pumping an amplified signal into your headphone jack, you pumped enough power into your output lines to jump over and induce voltages on other wires, wires not physically connected to the headphone jack.
Think about that for a second.
as I said over two weeks ago...

You don't have a mic-in port.
Unless you bought (or made) a dock connector you don't have a line-in port.
It is no wonder you didn't hear anything.
People! There is Nothing Good which can come from pumping amplified signals into the headphone jack of your iPod w/o a mic-in.

Yo thats because your a noob.
It works i tell you>.. It works!
I recorded again. WITH EVEN BETTER RESULTS.
i recorded on line in
Format : MP3
It still sounds crappy but i can hear sound that is easyly distinguishable from background hum and hiss.
I could upload a recording for you.
Chronon:
Hey, I don't care if you fry your iPod. It's your decision. But I will wait to get a proper line-in dock connector so that I don't have to supply amplified signals to my iPod and hope for pickup due to crosstalk. I mean I can generate crosstalk in separate channels of a ADC in my lab, it doesn't mean that this is a preferred method of recording signals or keeping usable equipment.
