all you need is a soundcard with an input and the correct lead.
if you're using the computers onboard soundcard (usually an ac'97 or similiar) this is what you'll need

its called a "mini jack to phono"
if you're using a USB or firewire external soundcard (or pro internal) the lead you need will depend on your inputs.
just an external sound card. i use this one:

it's the only one i've ever used, so i can't compare it to anything, but it does a great job.
Most laptops only have mic in - which is mono but does work ok. External sound card will give you stereo line in.
or am i just being a tightarse and should buy all of the audacity hard and software? my mate has it
