A MIDI cable would be of absolutely no use to you, you need a standard plug
that will convert whatever output you have from the boom box to a standard
input on the SB Pro...For example:

An audio cable that will convert two RCA plugs into a stereo-mini (3.5mm)
plug, or if you have headphone jacks only, a stereo-mini to stereo-mini
cable...

The only other problem would be the impedance...On the SB and SB Pro, the 
input impedance on the mic connector is 4 ohms, normal RCA outputs are 8,
and headphones are anywhere from 2-8 ohms...You MUST match impedances 
BEFORE you sample anything!!!  Otherwise the samples will have EXTREMELY
poor quality, and your equipment could be damaged...A simple circuit can
be built for an extrememly low price to handle this, I'll let some of the
other techies handle this one...:-)

Later...
