While "transcribing music is hard for humans", it is by far one of the best ear-training exercises a musician can possibly do. I don't transcribe music regularly, but on the occasions I did (prompted by not finding existing transcriptions of more obscure songs by well-known jazz artists) it greatly increased my understanding of the composer/musicians' approach, and my own musicality. Worthwhile project, but sometimes the journey is as valuable as the destination.
