    Can mastering remove electrical clicks?

    I've been getting a lot of them on my 4 track cassette recording and can't seem to isolate a particular track. I'm hoping they can at least subdue them to an inaudible level during mastering.

    CD Baby no longer shows all the CDs in a given genre. If you aren't an Editor's Pick or Top Seller people have to enter your name in 'search'. I sold some CDs that weren't Editor's Picks with the old format to browsers and wonder if its worth trying under the new system. Any thoughts or...
