Wikipedia seems to think it's illegal. The BBC article that I found called it "technically copyright infringement" in 2007. Everyone openly does it - including the sale of equipment based on making and playing digital copies. Perhaps it's like recording TV onto VHS, which was technically illegal for some time IIRC.
