Hi Sharon. This is fairly common and that scratch sound can appear at the start of a track or at the end. I think it's caused by the encoder not being able to make a completely clean cut between the track beginning or track end.
I use a program called MP3TRIM to clean up my ripped tracks. It's shareware and comes in a few flavours. The freeware version is fully functional but will only let you clean up tracks less than 5MB in size, the personal version can be purchased for about $20 and will let you clean up tracks up to 25MB and the Pro version will allow you to use certain batch functions as well as having no size limits on files that can be processed. The program is fairly accessible but does need some JAWS cursor work. Basically, you sample the beginning and end of each file where you have this problem and trim away the number of frames that will remove the sound. You can also fade in and fade out to clean up those tracks ripped from live concert recordings.
