  • MP3 popping

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Thursday, September 20, 2007 09:25:44
    Hello, All.

    I recently found my little MP3 player that uses SD cards for storage. So, I pulled out the SD card and stuck it into my computer (it has a multi-format card reader built-in) and now I'm noticing pops in all of the MP3s that are on there. Some are quite loud, some are not.

    I've never run into this phenomenon before and I was wondering if any of you have...and if so, how did you fix it?

    I recently lost all of my MP3s, so these are just a few left from my collection
    from before.

    Later,
    Sean

    If you copy the MP3s to your Hard drive first do you still hear
    the pops?

    any of you have...and if so, how did you fix it?

    If the above doesn't help, then copy them to the HDD and try running
    a filter on them that will remove pops and clicks, I use Wavelab which I
    bought a number of years ago (In your case probably cheaper to just
    buy the MP3's from a service then to buy wavelab) and it does a pretty
    good job of getting rid of pops' and clicks from any MP3's I've made from
    old records or even cleaning tape hiss from old cassettes.

    I haven't tried yet, to be honest.

    and it does a pretty good job of getting rid of pops' and clicks
    from any MP3's I've made from old records or even cleaning tape
    hiss from old cassettes.

    I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

    Thanks for the tip on Wavelab BTW. I love turning records and tapes
    into MP3's. I figure I already own them, why not make a format I can
    use more often. ;)
