Don - Have you considered getting out more, taking a holiday and spending more
time in healthy tasks like peeling potatoes, digging up the turnips and oiling
the wheelbarrow?


Much easier than that - I just listen to CDS! Incidentally, the 90% of
my vinyl that I still listen to is now on CD ROM, so effectively this
is a dead problem.

I have done the minimum amount of de-clicking (really only in the
inter-track gaps) to make it acceptable, and the job is done.

BTW - you should never peel potatoes. Didn't your mum teach you
nuffink?
