Does anyone have a microphone they could recommend? I want one that produces good quality and one that plugs into my Windows XP because i want to make a CD of my singing at home..will any microphone do? or should i go for one of the more expensive ones? can i also get one with good quality at walmart? Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
depending on your definition of "good"... personally, you will not find a good microphone for singing at WalMart. You want a vocals mic, go to a music store. Cheap-ass "comptuer microphones" are just that - very cheap with piss-poor sound quality for anyting beyond talking.
I assume your computer has the sound built into the motherboard (not a separate sound card), so you'll only have 1/4inch jacks for input - and odds are, the sound card circuitry is fairly cheap. So, even if you get a really good microphone, your computer wil still be sub-par for vocal recording.
Now, if you go into this as a way to just get some ideas recorded, and you don't care about sound quality - then use whatever mic you want.
But if you're going for the "I'm recording a song" approach, you might consider looking into other options - even the USB external SoundBlaster systems can take a standard 3-prong microphone jack, so you could use a more professional microphone to record yourself.
And you can get a decent vocal microphone for less than $50 bucks (yeah, I can hear audiophiles and purists out there screaming and/or faiting over that comment).
If you have more specific questions about this, feel free to fire them my way.
