Step 1Explanation:

Explanation:
Hokai, so I was getting tired of having to take off my head phones when having to take a call, and I was wishing I could listen to music while on hold or on a boring call.

So the idea was born and after a quick trip to my local electronics store, so was the final product.

Since all your grounds are hooked together anyway, couldn't you just use a SPDT switch instead of DPDT?

I have been trying to find a plan on how to make something like this for my desk phone. Apparently the technology isn't as nice and compatible as it is between a cell phone headset and a pc/music headset. Does anyone know if this would work if I added an input like the one on my desk phone headset, and how the cables would be set up?

I hope you make an instructable when you execute the plan that is in the works :-)

seems like a good idea to make a line in into a mic to record music clearly.

one more (noob) question, in your diagram the green is ground, then what are the red and blue wires. thanks

Good idea, I've been planning on something similar. Another comment, maybe closer up photos? Under topology most of the picture is the background, hard to see actual layout (by design?). Thanks.

Hey, great plan/idea, would it be possible for you to make a clearer diagram so I can see what is what. Thanks
