Apple's Sound Converter can do the CD:file transfer over the SCSI bus, but
you'll have to grab the whole song and then edit. So can a lot of
commercial apps.

S/Link and Disc-to-Disk will let you grab just the selected portion.

Once you've got it, compress the sucker to save time and bandwidth: mu-law
(.au) is the defacto standard, tho RealAudio is gaining on it (if your
server can support realtime feeds). I've had very good luck with .au files
at 11.025kHz... they're small, but sound pretty good. For samples, check
the Digital Playroom area on my web page.

I did the conversion/compression in S/Link, tho SoundEdit/16v2 will also
handle it.
