I use my AD516 to record files I get from napster, itunes, et al.  I get excellent results (44Khz) by cabling the output from my peecee to the stereo inputs of my AD516.  One problem is the AD516 is so good it will pick up quite a bit of distortion from the PCs el-cheapo audio circuitry.  Fortunately that can be cleaned up nicely in software.  After a bit of processing, I end up with unrestricted (headers stripped) CD quality MP3 files that sound as good as, if not better, than the originals.  The AD516 is an amazing card, though its hard to tell just how good unless you're playing back on commensurate quality speakers and amp.  :)
