My *impression* is that the pop is from lame, 3.57 or 3.58 currently, I grab with leech under OS/2, and have encoded hundreds of songs, using tompg/2 and l3enc. Never had the pop before, but another variable is a newer, faster, less reliable, CDROM drive. I will try a few CDs tonight, to verify lame is, or is not, the source of the pop. I have used -b 128, and recently started using -v -b160. My prefered player is warpamp (b4?), but we have winamp in the house, too.
