I always have the laptop plugged in - I don't run it on batteries.

No, I've only done this with my desktop PC, an old Compaq Presario.
The quality of the mp3s I derived from that process has been acceptable.
I have not tried to do any digitizing on the laptop at all. I might not
ever do that, but I'd still like to have a good *listening* experience
on it!
