Recording music onto your computer..

[Le Jalapeno]

I need a mic, and a good program.

I run PC laptop. ($300 > $1000) vista. 2 gigs of ram and a dual core processor running at 1.87 ghz

Help?

I don't need something studio quality, but good enough for me to kick out some jams and maybe doctor here and there, but mainly for sharing and self improvement.

go.

I run ableton live and it is seriously the most fun program ever, but it probably is more than you need if you just want to record and share. You need to buy an external audio card (m-audio makes pretty cheap ones) and any kind of instrument mic. Audacity is a free program that will do what you are asking of it and more.

Download Audacity... it's free and it works. Have fun.
