Try just ripping the whole track from the CD into your computer as a wav file, and then use e.g. audacity to find the bit you want. If the hum is still there, then its on the CD, and no amount of fiddling with your gear will get you a cleaner version.
To try and edit it out, try using a notch filter (e.g., in audacity), or a parametric eq with very high Q. I find a useful trick is to first turn the parametric EQ gain way *UP*, this makes it easy to find the right frequency - the one which makes your hum the LOUDEST. When you've got the freq., then you turn the gain down. Typically, hum will show up at 60 Hz, with the third harmonic at 180 Hz usually being the most prominent (this is in N. America; 50 and 150 Hz in most of Europe)
