I tried to respond directly to Fred, but got bounced.  Hence replying to the list even though, as Fred notes, this is WAY off topic.

 

Wow, does that still exist?  I gave up on it YEARS ago.  Audacity is far better at removing clicks and pops, splitting into tracks and exporting to FLAC.  It also does a great job removing tape hiss.

 

As for removing thumps - No way I know of to do that.  Audacity might be able to reduce the thump by using a high-pass filter set to roll off at 30 or 40 hz, but I don't think it can be taken completely out.

 

One of the really annoying things I remember about GWC was how it reacted to music featuring a bass trombone.  The entire passage was detected as several million little clicks.  When GWC got done, it sounded like the musician was playing through a fan.  Totally unlistenable.  Audacity's click filter can be adjusted to not do that.
