How do I record music from mps's (Limewire) without using the mic and speakers? Change to "Line in" didnt work

Question

I tried going to master volume.. Options...properties.. setting mixer device to Realtek HD audio Input.. because the recording option was not available on output. Then i selected OK, then switched from mic to line in.. had the volume all the way up. Then i went into sound recorder. played a song from limewire... recorded like 10 seconds. then selected playback and nothing was recorded. Thats the only way i could come up with. Maybe there is a program? anyways any help or ideas would be great. :) sry for any spelling errors..
