I pop the CD into my PC and use
SLSPCDR
which can slow the CD speed down dramatically and retain the pitch, you can
also transpose the pitch (change keys), and you can select a time segment
for it to keep repeating.... its a transcribing tool.

The version I got was completely free, looks like he's improved it a lot and
has a trial version to download.

If you can get the song in MIDI you can use HARPING to give you harmonica
tab.

All the best
