I have this same problem, but have found a solution. Get you a really nice Nakamichi 3 head cassette deck and simply bootleg tapes off your favorite streaming service. The nice Nak decks get CD quality sound and the transport controls on tape can’t be beat for transcription/study.... there is too much music to listen to. It renders me impotent. I want back a life based on record collection and compact cassettes.
All those streaming possibilities only make me dizzy and not listening good enough. And yes, I know that it's my problem.
