What exactly do you mean by quality? Pops and clicks, or a lowpass or any other artifact from a lossy encode?

for the former try Deglitch, for the later TauAnalyzer.

i should have been more specific soz.....umm what i got is a .MP3 and converting that to .WAV .... then i got the original CD with the same track on it and ripping that to HDD in .WAV format..... now i want to compare the 'sound' quality of the 2 files.

Comparing sound quality of audio files is a subjective thing and thus only the human ear can do that.
To me it seems that you need to perform an ABX test: Foobar has a built-in ABX testing facility. Better still might be to perform a ABC/HR Blind Audio Comparison and Rating test. ABC/HR for Java has had good reports as an app for this testing.
