My Sony S639 produces a very loud glitch/pop sound almost at the very end of this track, converted to Nero AAC 1.3.3.0 at q 0.53 (FWIW). (It made me jump during a late night walk!)

The strange thing is, I've tried using Foobar and Media Monkey with A) the original FLAC and AAC, B) an accurate/secure re-rip and an AAC made from it, and there is no problem. I then converted the FLAC to LAME and tried that on my S639, and there was also no problem. I even listened to the (pristine) CD itself, which was a bit nostalgic!

I guess this is probably a fault with the Sony rather than with Nero, but it's easier to get in touch with the Nero guys! cool.gif Anyway, it's just the one track, so not the end of the world.

(hopefully trimming the first 5 mins with dBpoweramp DMC hasn't messed it up.)
