Playback Problems

I recorded a song from a CD from a portable CD player using a line from the phones out jack on the CD player to the mic in jack on my Dell Vostro 1500 computer. When I played it back, the first two seconds sounded great just like the CD, then the rest of the song sounded like something from Star Trek. Any suggestions?

Why are you bothering to record a song from a CD? You would be much better off ripping the track from the CD with some good ripping software to produce a good WAV file (iTunes can do this for you and can be downloaded free from the Apple site - there's plenty of other ripping software available).
The only time you may need to actually record from a CD into Audacity is when the record company has applied wretched DRM so that the CD cannot be played on a PC, or ripped to an MP£ player or iPod.
