Aye, I now have my entire CD collection on my Network Walkman (9,360 tracks - and rapidly rising).  Copying these from my own collection is still, nevertheless illegal - hance the circular 'unauthorised copying, lending, public performance of this work is prohibited' warning you'll find on virtually every record and CD.  I choose to bung my CDs on my Walkman, as Neil does, for convenience - doesn't make it technically "legal" though, does it?
 
Still, they coudn't ever prosecuted anyone for ripping their own, purchased CDs.  As for filesharers, different matter altogether.

The record companies had no choice but to "not care" about people 
making copies of music they had paid for for their own use, for people 
have every right to do this. It's only just recently that record 
companies have tried to stop people from exercising this right by 
starting to suggest it's never been our right.
