"Does Musician transcribe audio files or CD music to notation?" Musician does not do this. Some music software can do this only for very clear single note instruments and voice. Many audio engineers have spent years attempting to develop software that can identify what pitches are being played by what instruments at what times in an audio recording. But there has been very little success for music in which more than one note is played at a time.
