The easiest way I'd know is to download it from somewhere, but searches are of no help to me (though I'm not that good at them anyway).
How, if you can, do you get it from the CD itself? And just so you know, I am a complete neophyte about this, so if it requires any outside programs, please don't assume I know of them or where to get them or even how to work them (it'll save time that way).

I managed to get Zerg 1 and 2 theme, but all the sites are gone now
I tried a WAV extractor on the CD, but only pulled a few misc sounds.
got an FTP site, and i'll upload the two zerg songs i have.

Download
MPQ View Pack and
Broodwar datafile from
Campaing Creations utilites page.
Extract both files somewhere and run MPQview.exe. First open broodwar datafile SCBW_data.txt, the one you just downloaded, then the game archive and MPQview gives you list of files and directories inside archive. On Starcraft CDs, file named INSTAL.EXE contains everything you want - musics, movies, game datafiles. Near end of file listing you'll find directory conveniently enough named music. To extract files simply select file(s) from the list and press Save-button.

I am honestly suprised that someone else here knows about MPQView.
But oh well. I can still own anyone here six ways to Sunday in Stargraft programming.

Sounds rather like Quake C - in other words, something grown past all proportion.

There is a lot of different stuff you can do.
There is basic unit editing, which you can do with Arsenal Zero and 3. Then there is modifying unit iscript animations and frames using ICE (a must have if you are adding new graphics or giving units spells). The most advanced and powerful program is Stargraft, which carries the dubious honor of being the program that the least amount of people in the community can use properly. Stargraft can be used to modify existing units and spells in ways other programs cannot, as well as be used to create NEW units, spells, tech trees... just about anything.
