See e.g. here (http://www.macworld.com/2001/10/macbeat/rip/):
Everyone--from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a civil-liberties advocacy group--seems to agree on one point:
"It's perfectly legal for you to make copies of your own music for your own personal use," says Robin Gross, EFF's staff intellectual-property attorney. "It's called 'fair use.' It's your legal right to do so, even if the copyright holder doesn't want you to."
An alternative to the MP3 player -> car audio system hookup is an MP3-CD player - you can put quite a lot more songs on each CD in MP3 format. Can't recommend it since I haven't used one myself, but at least it would bypass the need to plug the portable player into the cassette adapter and fiddle with its separate controls.
