Yup, that fixed it.

I grabbed the file off the player using EmpegTaxi, then I selected the file in Emplode, right-clicked on it, hit "replace tune", and selected the file I'd just downloaded.

It now plays fine in my player without any crackling.

The crackles were, I believe, clipping because it was playing too loud.

Okay, this is going into the bug database. I'm also going to mention it to the gentleman who was complaining of volume problems...
