That's not the point at all.
5.1 is fine for movies. Also MAY be OK for some music (maybe classical with rear ambience?)
BUT switching all music to 5.1 won't make a blind bit of difference to the majority of punters and their appreciation of music. The emotional impact and 'resolution' is the same mono or 5.1. We cannot lean on technology all the time to create the 'best new thing since sliced bread'. Music is about the SONGS/TUNES first and foremost, not any format or super fidelity issues.
All this iPod paranoia is funny as well... "ooh, all these consummers want is crap sounding music on tinny headphones" -- uh, you know that walkmen have been around for decades, right? Remember when we had crappy cassette copies of our music.. what has changed?
