Waaaay back I tried the system called Music Minus One, which was impossible because they were tapes and the pitch on the tape would vary as much as a half step overall, impossible to play in tune with. Does anyone know of a similar system available today that would have a large selection of pieces? Or do people do something entirely different now?

Music Minus One is also available on CD, and I found the pitch to be quite consistent (as it should be) on CD. Also, the following website has downloadable sound files which I have found quite satisfactory:

You may look at my page http://www.huckert.com/ehuckert/cldownload.htm where I have MIDI, MP3 and PDF files for oboe, clarinet and bassoon. I prepared them for (my own) training purpose. Some are pure "play along" files - in some others I left the oboe voice. For the latter files you can reduce the oboe voice by adjusting your "pan/balance" knob as I place normally the oboe voice on the extreme left stereo channel. Unfortunately many modern audio devices no longer have a pan knob.
I prefer normally MIDI files as you can there (in MIDI-2 files) filter out voices or manipulate the speed. As modern operating systems (Android, Linux, OSx) do not have built-in MIDI players I know tend to produce MP3 files. These are compressed sound files: you have (practically) no chance to filter out voices or modify the speed.
