Suppose a song starts its life on my computer as an mp3 file, likely downloaded from some web site. I open the mp3 in RipEditBurn, do whatever tweaking I want, and save as a WAV file.

The new WAV file plays fine on the computer, whether opened in RipEditBurn, Windows Media Player, or Real Player. However, if I burn the song (now in WAV form) onto a CD using RipEditBurn, there is a loud "pop" or "click" at the end of the piece. This problem does not arise if the song begin its life (on my computer) as a rip from a CD or in a WAV or WMA file format, only if it entered my computer (and RipEditBurn) as an mp3.

Note: I have the latest version of Windows Media Player, and I burn the CDs in RipEditBurn at "default" speed. My computer is running Windows XP, if that matters.

If I rip the offending cut from the burned CD back into RipEditBurn, the "click" is fairly obvious in the waveform. After editing out the "pop", re-saving the file as a WAV, and then re-burning to CD, the "pop" is gone. So the problem is fixable, but I can end up going through rather more discs than I'd intended....

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

In the past, I have attempted to use the Audio Tester Report, but this has never functioned on my machine. Sorry.

(My previous query related to RipEditBurn's inability to burn the table of contents to a CD, regardless of the "speed" used. The guess as to the cause for that problem was the vintage of my version of Windows Media Player -- since corrected -- because the Audio Tester did not function.)
