Want more Surround Sound music files

[Alfred Juras]

I bought a new Dell computer with the Altec Lansing Dolby Digital 5.1
speaker system, and it came with Windows Media Player and a sample song,
"Like Humans Do" by David Byrne.
The song plays in surround sound, either 5.1 or just 4-channel. I
listened to it enough to determine that what was coming out the rear
speakers was definately not the same as the front.
Where can I get more songs like this? Radio MX just plays the same
content in the back as the front.
If anybody knows the answer, I would very much appreciate an answer.
Thanking you,
Alfred

Was the song truly mixed in surround?

If you are running any 2 tracks through a surround processor you're going to
get something different in the rears than what's in the front. Basically,
what the decoder is doing is taking the difference from the stereo channels
after they are taken out of phase and sending it to the rear (it's a little
more complicated than that, but that's the jist of it). That being the case,
the song may or may not be mixed in surround.
