There's three different ways to get a click at edits. Probably the most annoying one that's almost impossible to find in its smallest form, one of the two clips has DC Offset. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/DCOffset.jpg You can use Effect > Normalize with only [X] Remove DC Offset checked.

convert his audio from Audacity onto an MP3 That's not the best idea. MP3 creates sound damage. An Audacity Project contains format and positioning information and holds the audio in super high quality 32-bit Floating to avoid distortion when applying filters, effects and corrections. That may be o...

Your project should look like this with an AUP file and a _DATA folder (with the little au files), both with the same name. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg You are supposed to double click the AUP (Project Manager) file and it will open everything else. You can also Fi...

Which Audacity version are you using? In Windows I think Help > About?
