What do you think about Napster?

I have a question, concerning fair use....I'm thoroughly obfuscated on the subject. Between my father and I, we have hundreds of vynils (for those of you under the age of 25, I mean the big, black, plastic records). Do I have the legal right to download these songs from napster, even though the songs I'm downloading are remastered and taken from CDs? Technically, I'm downloading a higher quality copy of the song than the one I bought, and I'm not sure if that falls under fair use.

Later
