All – how can I share some of my iTunes music (not purchased via iTunes) with my kid? Virtually all of those are ripped from CDs. I still have the CDs but I don't want to rip them all again.
Thank you.

If you create a playable CD with iTunes, then the software converts them to a format that can be played through any hi-fi or CD player and burns that to a disc. If it was a data CD you used, then that works in a similar way to a USB flash drive, just copying the files and burning them to a CD. These will not be playable in a CD player, but you can get the files off from a computer. Hope this helps.
Try SharePod:

SharePod can run straight from the iPod itself, so you can use it at work, school, home - wherever you and your iPod are.

If you and your kid – or actually your device and your kid's device are on the same network, you could simply share your library like this:
Go to your iTunes preferences and click on the sharing tab. You can then choose to either share your complete library, or select a playlist to share. On the client iTunes (your kid's device) your shared library should be visible in the top-right corner.
You can also find further details on this over here: "Share your iTunes library over your home network" (at apple.com)
If you are actually not on a desktop/macbook computer then things are slightly different – but still possible. Then you may want to check out this article: "Use Home Sharing to share iTunes content with other devices"
