Spotify is free to stream, can you not just do that? If you really want the MP3's you could capture them with a program called Audacity?

What is your input device setting set to?

Edit -> Preferences
Set all three drop downs to M$ Sound Mapper, if the option is there, if that option doesnt exist, list the options here
edit - that could be Vista only, so post all the options you have available

Make sure you have your speakers on, it will record at the volume you have your speakers set to, so having them too loud may produce a distorted track recording
Once recorded you need to export to MP3 (File menu) although you get another error with that to do with LameMP3Enc, which I can help with

just to get him started, make sure it works, then can up the channels to 2 or 5 or whatever

Sounds like you are missing a driver of some description then, but I cant find this mapper thing installed either in Control Panel or Device Manager....
