How can I take a music selection off of a cd and make it into a file that can be played on other computers by just the user clicking on it. Starting from scratch here. Thanks.

If you're starting from scratch then this will hurt...:(
What you need to do, is find the offset on the CD of the music track you want, then digitally read it (you'd need some serious API for this), and encode into a WAV file. BTW - you can't put it into a MIDI file.
Well, I can record it into a .wav file using the microphone. But I think my recording for a .wav file is 60 seconds. Any ideas from this perspective? thanks
If you just need to convert it to a wave file, try AudioGrabber from http://www.audiograbber.com
You can save a track off a CD direct to a wave file, which is about 30 megs, but will play whenever the user doubleclicks on it. There is also no loss of quality, because it stays digital.
