Recording Full Length Songs

Ok so I've had the JM4 for a few weeks now but haven't got to spend a whole lot of time with it. I have the basics down with the loops and overdubbing. I bought an SD card and have been playing around with creating guitar parts over the internal backing tracks, one section at a time and importing them into Audacity and piecing them together, that sort of thing. That's about the extent of what I've been doing.

I tried yesterday downloading a backing track of a full song off the net, converting it to WAV and bringing it into the JM4 as I would like to do FULL guitar covers of complete songs. That all worked and all, but I was wondering if there is a quicker/easier way. Like, if I plug my ipod which has some of my backing tracks on it into my CD/MP3 IN, does the JM4 record that input? Or would I need to buy an 1.8 to 1/4 adapter and use my AUX input... and would that work? I'm not home to try it and I was planning on stopping at a store on my way home for a stereo cable I need anyway.

I play through a Mesa Lonestar so needless to say I don't really use the tone side of the JM4, just as a looper. With that said would I just be better off using my soundcard on my PC for doing the song covers thing? I just preferred using the stompbox for ease of use when starting/stopping/ etc

Thoughts? How are you guys using yours?
