Hadassah,

First, unless you are the copyright owner or already have explicit
permission to convert the audio files and deliver them from a server,
copyright will be an issue.

Second, you'll have to change the audio format (Audio CD format won't play
from a hard disk). You'll probably want to "rip" the CD to your server in
MP3 format.  There are lots of software programs that can do this for you.
If the material is from a standard textbook series, you should have a look
at the IALLT Digital Exchange to see whether someone else may have already
converted the materials.  If so, and your copyright permissions are in
order, you'll be able to download them and save yourself a lot of work.

Once the audio files are on your server, you'll need to create a web page
with links to the converted audio files.  Hope this helps, Jack
