You don't like that warm-natural-analog sound?

Audacity (FREE) has a Click Removal "effect" plug-in. All of these tools are different and to some work better than others.... So, you'll have to try it to see if it does the job for you.

...that batch remove PopClick

The batch/automatic de-clickers are usually not perfect... It's hard for a computer to know what's a defect and when there's something that sounds like a click that's part of the music. (The manual de-clickers are not always perfect either.) Other times it's impossble to remove the click without otherwise damaging the sound. Also, the MP3 compression might change the waveform in a way that makes the defect harder for the computer to detect.

This page has several suggestions for click-removal software. (Some of these may not work with MP3, but all click removal programs will have to decode the MP3 before processing anyway.)

I use Wave Repair ($30 USD). It works great in the manual mode and it only "touches" the waveform where you identify a defect, but it's very time-consuming.

Goldware can do it but is trial

I've had GoldWave for about 10 years. Since the upgrades are free, the cost has been insignificant at only about $5 a year. It's the BEST software "investment" I've ever made!!! (But, I don't use it for de-clicking.)
