ClickRepair is an application to assist you in restoring the sound archived from old records (vinyl or shellac). It is cross-platform, currently available for Mac OS X and Windows, and will be released for any Java 1.4 enabled platform.

Planned new features for future releases include:

Improvements to processing algorithms, particularly for:
Removal of low-frequency thumps induced in the pick-up/tone arm by scratches in the record.
Automatic de-clipping.
More flexible user interface.
Plug-ins for use with Audio Editors.

Requirements:
Java 1.4 or later.

The software requires Apple's Java 1.4. I have tested it using Mac OS 10.2.6, 10.3.9, and 10.4, but please be aware that the 10.3.9 upgrade has Java issues.

What's New:
Important bug-fix for the operation of the "Stereo>Mono" merge algorithm, which could drift during the processing of long files.
Further minor interface enhancements.
