It's my understanding that technically you are right, it's illegal to copy music in any form, for personal use or otherwise. Though, that being said, noboby has ever been arrested for making a mix tape of their own CD's, or by ripping CD's to their iPod or other MP3 player.
There are tons of options for MP3 players, but I would kind of lean towards the Apple iPods (doesn't matter if you're Mac or PC, they're great either way and synch perfectly with both) One reason I like them is there are so many out there, if you ever needed help there should be lots of people to offer assistance, etc.
For purchasing, legally, you might just download a copy of iTunes, again, it works perfectly on Mac or PC and will synch with your iPod. You can buy tons of songs for just $1 each and I think they've got discounted prices for complete albums as well.

Hope that helps!
