Re: noise at the end of a track

Zack said deleting the metadata didn't help.
I'm using the most recent version of EAC.
The track with the pop at the end is "Shine on on you crazy diamond" parts
I-V on "Wish You were Here".  It's the first track on the CD.
Zack said something I didn't understand, about maybe it wasn't actually the
end of the track.
But, " Shine on on you crazy diamond" parts VI-IX are the 5th track on the
CD.
Maybe "Shine on on you crazy diamond" is one recording and it got split
somehow into tracks 1 and 5, and that somehow causes a pop sound at the end
of track 1?
How could it be fixed, anyway?
