- save file your PC downloaded and save the music in a format on your machine for personal replay: you're in the clear.
- download copy of music somebody else is sharing to your computer: not legal in many countries
so from a "why bother" perspective: one is doing nothing different than taping your fav show from TV with VHS, record music from radio with casette tape. The other is actually making a copy. and "making that copy" is not seen as "legal" in many countries. (not all though, Hello Netherlands)
