I recently had a similar problem when I ripped the DD2.0 track
off a DVD-A disc. A loud (and I mean speaker damaging loud)
squeal/click from the LH speaker at the end of the first 5
tracks. To overcome it I used Nero to cut the offending bit out
and then used a steeper fade out to cover the cut.

You could try this in reverse and use a fade in. What I couldn't
overcome was the "watermark" on track 9 - a 16KHz sine wave
through the whole track at just below music level. Almost
unnoticeable in my car BUT un-listenable in my home system. Oh
well cut track 9 :-(



TT, I admire your balls posting this here.

It's about time a few of the 'home truths' concerning the quagmire that
digital music's getting itself into these days - too many 'digi****s' here
have been getting away with the 'it's digital, so it's perfect' mantra for
too long. About the only certainty in 'digital' atm is that whatever player
you go out and buy this afternoon, you can bet your butt that, within 2
years, it will turn out to have been the *wrong* one.....

30/40 years ago: 'Taping music is killing the industry'

Today: 'Digital music is killing the industry'........

(Having said all that, I'm sorry to hear you are having problems,
nevertheless.)
