Here are links to some shareware and freeware programs that will do some of the things you ask about: Winamp http://www.winamp.com/ and Music Match Jukebox http://www.musicmatch.com/ - both allow you to convert/compress files CD Wave http://www.crosswinds.net/~cdwave/ will allow you to cut up sound files easily. It was created primarily for converting analog sound to digital for burning CDs (cassette tape or vinyl to disk), but you can use those digital sound files in a number of other ways. Microsoft's On-Demand Producer http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/en/technologies/tools/ondemand .asp was created in conjunction with Sonic Foundry - this one allows you to convert wav files to Windows Media Player streaming files.
