http://www.m-audio.com/images/global/manuals/Audiophile-USB_Manual.pdf^^^ i personally think this audiophile usb is one of the best options all around for
the newbie user.. because its usable with many different types of pcs/macs laptops,imacs,desktops
also allows you to use the m-powered software on xp/osx+, functions as a breakout box to keep
your midi + audio connections and headphone jack handy and at close reach, features 1/4" input jacks
only drawback is lack of XLR jack compatibility

similiar to the m-audio audiophile pci device, except not in rca jack format
the difference between the mia + the mia midi is the bottom digital output section is spdif out, spdif in
on the mia, and on the mia midi, theres a digital breakout that provides midi in, midi out, + the spdif in&out at the end of the breakout cable (see pic)

http://tascam.com/product/us-122/downloads/driver compatibility: winxp 32bit / 64bit, winVista 32bit / 64bit, osx tiger, osx leopard (should be fine to work with 10.3 panther aswell) also says its intel processor compatible, im guessing this may only be for osx leopard intel, snow leopard may work, but they dont confirm this
this unit also provides the ability to mix 2 signals (mic/instr) into 1 signal on each side (L/R) of the 2 inputs
so theoretically u could record two people, both playing guitar + singing, into 2 tracks, 1 per performer, just to illustrate its features.. or u can use this to simple switch between the guitar + the mic while keeping them both connected and doing takes. also allows you to use a hardware compressor or other effects chain one insert per side (L/R)
