mp3 pops

I normally use Mpc, however, since I have a portable MP3 player I use lame.  When I make a MP3 cd in Nero I notice that whenever a song starts there is always a little pop and this goes for every single one of them.  My process is EAC to lame, then nero to burn, my question is why that little annoying pop and is there something i'm missing?

This never happened to me... Maybe that comes from your player. Have you tried playing the same cd's with your computer cd drive?

Is this a real pop you're allways hearing or is it a gap (?=pop) inbetween tracks that should play gapless?

MP3 is incapable of gapless playback due to format short-comings.

@audioloser,
I suspect the pops are produced in your portable mp3 player. Do the mp3 files also produce pops when played on your computer?
To be sure, decode one of your mp3 files back to wave (lame --decode) and load it into your favourite audio editor. Zoom in at the beginning of the file and see what's going on there. If you don't see anything special, you can be sure it's your portable player that's messing things up.
BTW What brand and type is your portable player?
