As I haven't done a lot of research into the other CDs available, I can't say whether or not this is the best choice when looking for park music. Most of the tracks are from specific rides with a few area specific pieces. I listen to about half of the tracks. The music from classic rides that are still in operation make me happy, like Pirates and Haunted Mansion. I'm not a big fan of some of the lyric based songs from attractions I no longer remember.
Disney does a good job of making their music either sound epic or timeless. Unfortunately, some of the songs on the CD set are neither. At times, I feel as if I've stepped back into the early 80's. While I respect the nod to Disney history, about half of these tracks are far from their greatest hits.
When I'm visiting Disney again, I'll be looking for a CD that is filled with the different area music from the parks. Until then, I'll keep enjoying about half of the tracks in the set I have now. I'm thinking I paid around $30 for the set. I only listen to it when I'm planning a Disney trip, so that's probably not the best use of cash. Youtube provides me with better options for free.
