I need a wire that has, at both ends, the type of plugs that headphones plug into things - the small thin type. I need it so I can plug my cassette player into my PC's microphone scocket to record sound - I've done it before and it works but I've lost the wire. I've looked on Maplin's website - www.maplin.co.uk and eBay -www.ebay.co.uk but no luck - i'm not really sure what to search for - what are these sort of connectors called? To reiterate, its the small thin type of plug you get on headphones but the male type at both ends of the wire. Thanks!
