I had a "similar" issue with my "old" 3B+, although I am/was in a slightly different situation:
1. I only have/had disc-rips + CUE
2. the clicks / pops were limited to some sort of struggle-to-sinc in the transition from one track to another (the next...) AND not always, resulting anyway in a sort of click...
So I fixed it increasing the cache size to 1GB (as my rips are 16/44.1, therefore usually in the 350/400 MB realm... so being sure to have the whole file in memory)
It could be an issue of horsepower, though, as @TheOldPresbyope pointed out, and you happen to have verified, as the Pi4 does not present the issue...
Anyway, since increasing the cache size (provided you DO have enough memory) does no harm and is a no-brainer, you can easily give it a try.
