    Abstract: Method and apparatus for generating audio files from web pages and for providing the audio files and/or the web pages at client terminals are disclosed. The audio files are generated by filtering a web page to remove characters that are non-audible. The audio files can be generated by a first server that receives a request for a web page or can be generated by a second server operating in cooperation with the first server. Additionally, web pages can be provided with a read me command button or other control object to allow audio versions of the web page to be selectively presented to a client terminal where the user desires to hear an audio version of the web page. Further, servers are disclosed that maintain play lists of web pages, including audio versions thereof if desired. Servers that maintain a preference list of web pages that users would like to hear audio versions of are disclosed.
