The SBPro has 3 jacks on the back of the card:  Line, Mic, and Out, in order
from the top of the card (where you fasten the bracket to the chassis).  Simply
connect the line out of your CD player to this jack.  Then use SBP-MIX (or the
Windows mixer) and adjust the volume of the line input until it's suitable.
Then use VREC to record your sound.  You won't get CD quality because

a) The SBPro only can record 8 bits of data, and CDs use 14 or 16 (can't 
remember, but 14 seems right)
b) The SBPro can only record stereo at 22.05kH, while CD audio is recorded at
44.1kHz.
