I think pretty much all commercial surround formatted material available today is being delivered in DVD-Audio or SACD format, both of which I believe are protected by DRM, it seems unlikely to me that this technology will catch on. I’d love to rip my DVD-A disks as MP3’s for use on my HTPC, but I suspect that, short of doing an analog rip (and thus losing mucho quality), I can’t get there from here.
This is probably targeted more at the people who directly offer mp3s. (If anyone is curious, I blogged a list of free, legal mp3 sources.)
One thing’s for sure, it will have competition. Ogg Vorbis has supported multi-channel surround for a while now.
