Recording LP's - Eliminating clicks & crackles?

Have just acquired a Griffin imic to record my collection of LP's to itunes. Final Vinyl (v 2.5.1) software is doing a great job for my non-classical recordings and I'm well pleased with the result, but on my classical LP's I get a lot of clicks and crackles. I can see the peaks on the waveform quite clearly. Is there any way I can eliminate these?

Give ClickRepair a go

ClickRepair 2.3.2 software download - Mac OS X - VersionTracker

Also the free Auadacity sound editor has many filters to experiment

Reporting back...
ClickRepair is amazing! It does exactly what it says on the tin, as they say. After skim reading the a very clear 48 page pdf manual I installed the software, opened my first LP recording (from Final Vinyl) and let it do it's stuff. A few seconds later one perfect recording with not a click to be heard. How good is that! The best bit is that it's on a 21 day free trial before you need to pay the $40 for the license but it's so good it's money well invested.

Thanks once again Louishen for the tip.
