Two discs of music don't exactly provide for a thorough overview of four decades of recording, particularly if the subject of the retrospective is one of the most important and prolific performers of his time. So The Essential Bob Dylan definitely skates over the leagues-deep oeuvre of Dylan, summarizing his monumental first half-dozen years in disc one and skirting over the following 34 years in disc two.
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is superior over MP3 in preserving audio quality of the source (audio CD). However, FLAC file sizes are also bigger than MP3 (roughly 10x MP3 file sizes). FLAC files can be played with
Winamp (or other player that support FLAC).
