I suppose that fits with my BBS name. Hopefully my BBS will rarely be in need
of repair though. ;)

I gave that a try, and I think it worked fairly well. It didn't totally remove
the pops & clicks, but it did significantly lessen them so they aren't nearly
as annoying as before. I wonder why it only lets you repair up to 128 samples
though.. I ended up selecting several sections in a row of 128(ish) samples to
repair - It seems like it should be able to let you make a wider selection if
you want.
