While it is common practice for music owners to rip their CDs for use on MP3 players, most are unaware that this practice is illegal. The government wants to address this by creating an exception under copyright law, a recommendation first mooted in the Gowers report into intellectual property.
"The exception would only apply to personal or private use," says the proposal. "The owner would not be permitted to sell, loan or give away the copy or share it more widely (for example in a file sharing system or on the internet).

Legal or illegal depends on the laws of the country you live in.
