What's the best program to "clean up" an MP3?

I'm looking to eliminate the cracks at the beginning of my Freefall - Skydive (X-Static Opera Mix)

i use soundforge XP

MP3DirectCut works fine here

mp3DirectCut is a small tool for editing MPEG audio directly. You can remove parts, change the volume, split files or copy regions to several new files. All without the need to decompress your MP3 into a PCM format. This saves work, encoding time and disk space. And there is no quality loss through any re-compressions!

you can do that? weird, anyways, just get a clean rip, like off a cd that is best

I use soundforge. Decode the song to wave, open it, change volume, fade here & there, zoom in to select the cracks exactly, then delete them. Done it a million times. Most vinylrecordings are with cracks 'n stuff, or the volume is too loud or too soft.

Definately Soundforge!!
