Circa 2006 when I was last looking, it was all pretty ick.

I had luck using an online QSO generator that would spit out from PCM WAVs that I transcoded into MP3 and dropped in my pocket for the morning BART/muni ride.
The metal-on-metal track squealing and general extra noise actually helped out later when I would turn the volume down a little so that I could practice transcribing under contest conditions. :)

CW, wonderful mode that.
