I just recently bought a shotgun mic and my camcorder doesnt have a place to plug it in at, the mic itself takes a battery and I was wondering, with I pluged it into the line in spot of my mp3 player, would it be able to pick it up? Here is the link to the mic and mp3 player Im using. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006J04Z http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Portable-Media-Player-Black/dp/B000IBROQE/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1211972151&s r=8-14
