After a little investigation, it's getting the pops from the actual extraction. The WAV files that I produce in Sleazy CD have the same problem, it actually sounds BETTER on the burned CD. According to the knowledge base on Roxio (thanks for the link Bob!) I need to tweak my settings in Creature or use a different CD drive. Since it's a new drive I suspect Adaptec more than anything. I may just have to switch to CD paranoia or Musicmatch if the tweaking doesn't fix it. Thanks a lot Bill and Bob! -Brian
