Loud click on final track when burning CDs

[laslaw01]

Sometimes when burning CDs from FLAC files, a loud click (sometimes several) appears at the end of the final track, after the song has terminated. The click is not in the original file (I've used wavepad sound editor to verify this) but it is in the version burned to CD. I also opened that file in wavepad and saw the click, plain as day, a vertical line (or several lines). In fact, it appears that Express Burn in such cases has ADDED a few seconds of time to the track. Example: the FLAC file was 9:10, but after I burned it to CD, it was 9:14.)

 

It doesn't do this on every CD, just some. I go through the exact procedure every time: I'm using imation CDs, burning at 8 times (slowest on my drive) and finalizing, burning session at once, with no added time between tracks. This does not happen when I burn ogg vorbis or mp3s to CD.

 

Does anyone have any clue as to this problem?

Actually, let me amend that. Out of the last 15 CDs I burned, except for two, all of them, from both FLAC and mp3 files, have the loud clicks on the end. I opened the last track on every one in wavepad and magnified the ends. There are 3 vertical lines (in fact 3 clicks) on every CD. (Winamp sometimes doesn't play them all.)

I have snipped the end of the track and converted it to mp3 (vbr) so you can see the 2 seconds (and 3 clicks) that ExpressRip is adding to the end of the tracks. I've tried just about every variation in the burning process... Obviously if I copy of the sound files and make a data CD, this does not occur. So it's somewhere in the conversion. (Yes, I tried deleting the decodes so the program would download them again. To no avail.)

 

Now if I can only figure out how to upload the file I made. (It's only 117 kb.)
