Under fair use it means you are recording the sample (and it should normally be just a sample not an entire track) for parody, criticism, or other legitimate commentary.
Fair use provides no protection for arbitrarily recording protected works for indefinite later replays, even if you have no intention of sharing or distribution of that content. It *may* provide protection for format shifting, I.e. ripping LPs/CDs you own for playback by yourself on other devices in other formats, but even that is mainly "tolerated" and not explicitly protected, it's just the wording is unclear. -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.
