I have been disappointed with the audio quality of some CDs I have
bought recently.


No surprise there, but let's not get into all of that.....


Is there a free program I can use to get an accepted
measurement of fidelity? (like a signal to noise ratio)


So you can do what - take any disks back to the shop for a refund if a
computer tells you the 'fidelity factor' is below a certain figure
whether you actually *liked* the sound or not....???
