I would say that another user downloading a file from your PC would definitely count as "assigning". You are either implicitly or explicitly making your legal mp3s available for download by others. That's distribution in my book.
Besides, even if you might not be violating the exact letter of the law, you're certainly violating the spirit of it, and that can get a judgement levied against you if the defintion is close enough that the judge decides it'll work.
