I rip MP3s from my own music collection all the time. That's legal, as long as it's for your own use.
My gut feel says it should be legal, as I've paid for the music itself and am quite willing to toss the cassette once I've made the conversion. However, some tickle deep in my memory says that at least at one time, such conversion was in fact illegal, even for one's own use. Sounds like I'm out of date on that.
Which player do you use? Can you use it with your car stereo somehow, and if so how? Do you also purchase individual songs sometimes? How easy have you found it to be to rip MP3s from cassette?
Sorry for the third degree... I'm trying to take advantage of being a late adopter by asking all my friends what they've learned. :-)
