Find where the pop is in the waveform (it may be a tedious process) and smooth out that section.

Thanks for the tip, pERfEctIOntHRusILEncE,
I'll have to look into how to use the waveform editing tool, which I've never done (having never edited my tracks before). I just know I was surprised by the pops because when listening to the tracks/songs, say at the very beginning, the track appears to be flatline, and I can't *hear* the pop until I save the song as an MP3, so I didn't think to look at an expanded view of the tracks and check for noise. Thanks again for your help!
