ITunes support for 5.1 audio formats - a plea to Apple!

When will we finally be able to purchase and play high resolution 5.1 audio formats such as DTS, Dolby Digital, MLP, etc with iTunes?
I have a car (Acura) that has iPod integration, as well as an amazing audio system with DVD-A and DTS support. The DVD-A surround sound discs sound amazing. The weakest link is the iPod....I can't buy any 5.1 content from iTunes and have it on my iPod or iPhone.
As you know, DVD-A and SACD are basically dead physical formats, but the 5.1 content they carried is amazing. There is no shortage of 5.1 music material these days. The distribution is the only thing missing. I'm willing to pay a premium for 5.1 music content, but Apple has to sell it...please!!!

ed2345 - Thanks for the link. Looks very interesting! I don't see any surround/5.1/DTS/DD files, though. I don't think ripping/playing 5.1 files is possible via the iPod/iPhone software without Apple's support. I could author my own DVD-As from these hi-res files, but that's a little more effort and $ for a tool, just for 2.0 files. I'm primarily interested in iTunes/iPod/iPhone 5.1 support, in any format of Apple's choosing, directly within the iPod/iPhone. Whatever iTunes chooses would likely be the defacto standard for 5.1 audio files. I'd just rather carry an iPod full of 5.1 files than physical discs for every album. Again, thanks for the info!
Roamingnome - I'm addressing both Apple and our constituency with this request to support 5.1 audio formats. I have already submitted feedback directly to Apple.

Feature Request -Support For All Library Assets Formats

I would like to request an update to the application to allow full support for all Library asset formats.
I have recently started using Comp CC to draft layouts. I have found that none of my graphics Library assets can be used due to their format type. This has limited the usefulness of Comp CC as many of my assets are Illustrator vector graphic.

Thanks for opening our eyes. I spent a good hour trying to place vector graphics into an image place holder before I posted.
In my defense I find this method less than intuitive. I don't understand Adobe's thinking on separate methods of placing vector graphics & raster graphics. I personally treat all graphics the same vector or raster the are both graphics. This has been the standard workflow for placing image into DTP apps since the beginning.

Dear Mr. King_Penguin,
Apologies in advance. I am an absolute newbie, and couldn't figure out how to "send" this other than checking your recent activity. I'm certain you get plenty "Thank you's". (This is another, -so please begin to skip here if the accolades are a nuisance!!) I promise that before I plague you w/ questions I will read as much as possible of what you've already "posted".
I've used IOS devices for years- yet I am still very much a beginner, especially searching for ways to utilize my devices to a "greater extent". My ios phobias began when I was gifted an iPod; terrified using "iTunes" on PC laptop, certain that syncing specific things would result in loss of data, cold sweats when a new "IOS Update" arrived, shock horror and awe at the entirely foreign & colourfully creative world of "Apple Language". Today my sadly underused iPad (4th Gen.) froze. The first go-to "reboot" wasn't working and the only thing on the device I had access to was Siri- and we really don't get along or talk very often... On June 10th 2012 (4:10am) you posted & responded to a query. (A "soft-reset"?!! Brilliant!) That post, saved me from pitching all my devices into the bin, today-three years later. After wasting hours fiddling w/o hope, I dipped a toe back in to Apple.com "support communities". I found your post quickly. Not at all the case (for me, with my ingrained "PC lingo") in the past. So, I thank you one thousand times, I've no idea why there exist tech angels such as yourself, why you do what they do for free, w/ no obvious benefits or profit-but I'm a "follower" now. Apologies once more for posting this here- I will go back to the newbie section and try to figure out all the things I should know to avoid future etiquette faux-pas. Sincerest thanks!!

Regardless of what format you want to use, you can't publish in the iBookstore without meeting Apple's requirements, so if you find those too difficult, you need to go elsewhere.

The old Apple ID (presumably your dads) owns those songs and your new Apple ID does not. However, your dad can authorize your iD to use the songs by going to Store > Authorize This Computer from your iTunes menu and entering his Apple ID and password.

Highly Annoyed: No iTunes Support for iPod Nano 5's (new) Recording Ability

Re iPod Nano 5th: does anyone else out there find it to be a p-ss-off that, now that it records videos, voice and steps (well-done!), the iTunes application gives little or no support for any of them? Clear to me: iPod WAS just a playback machine, and iTunes fed it the media, one-way only. But the Nano 5th is now a 3-part recorder, and is Apple going to change iTunes or supplement it to make it a two-way application? Disk use doesn't cut it - and often conflicts with use of the iTunes Sync button (which I use for my songs library). Cases-in-point: I've taken camera videos that I can no longer find on my iPod, even though their files are still in the iPod DCIM folder! For Voice 'memos' (great for recording just about any dialogue or talk), I have first to make sure that the playlist "Voice Memos" in my iTunes library has the same 5 recordings I have on and want to keep on my iPod before I do a manual Sync to transfer the CD songs I've just added to iTunes and want on my iPod. I have spent hours trying to establish a 'disk use' method get back a recording that's disappeared from the iPod's Recordings folder (done by iTunes without my say-so).
Because I'm new to using iPod and iTunes, I've turned to the 104-page User Guide for the Nano 5th. Is anyone else annoyed that it's upbeat language completely skirts Apple's gaping hole of incompleteness in software support for the new recording functions of Nano 5th? Is it dishonest? Pity the Apple underlings forced to write it, knowing Apple iPod execs f--ked up by failing to develop iTunes/software support in tandem with the new iPod wizardry. Back to my question: is this bugging anyone else, and do you have any insight to lend me?
McGoosteraneous ly (a stupid name for an unstupid guy)

I will check out Apple Knowledge Base though. URL is?
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search
*The Apple staff are unlikely to help me with "all my issues"* if they lead me thru indirect ways to manage camera videos and recordings and not thru dedicated software that Apple has overlooked to develop along with the Nano 5th.
You will not know this until you get there. If you do not want to march on down to the store then call iPod support.
"Complaining" in these forums is falling on deaf ears. Apple will not respond nor do they read these postings because these are user-to-user forums where everyday folk post questions and offer answers to each other.
If you have a problem with the way Apple has intergrated the iPod Nano with iTunes, post them on Apple's Product Feedback website.
