Divorcing..Splitting the cd collection..

Unfortunately my wife and I are divorcing. We have about 1000 cd's of which we both cherish very much.
We know splitting up the collection will be very hard if not impossible.
I suggested ripping ,if that is the right terminology ,to some kind of music server unit and make two copies so we both could enjoy the entire collection.As you probable can tell my knowledge in this area is very limited..almost nil.
Does this seem possible?
I am retiring so will have lots of time.
Any suggestions ,direction or sites that could get me started will be very much appreciated.
I should add I do not want to go the cheapest route as we/I (maybe) have a decent system and enjoy music very much.

"If you do physically possess the software copy CD, then you are allowed to make copies for "fair use" for personal use by yourself."

I don't see the problem. Since they are currently married, they jointly own the cd collection and that ownership should extend to copies made for their personal use. After the divorce, I can't imagine any court ruling that one party should keep both copy and original because of copyright infringement.

Der, I had this dark feeling that I was wrong even as I was writing. It's just that...well, you know.
