I Listen equally from my 'Pod, and on the home Stereo, I still love the richness of Vinyl that a lot of the earlier digitizing lost.

This makes perfect sense. Original recordings mixed and mastered to the 2 channel, any multichannel ceases to be what the artist intended. While it may be nice to have the 5.1 system fully driven, is it still really Yello?
Of course we know Dieter has worked(works) in the 5.1 area, but I do the vast majority of my listening in the car or on headphones, and I'm not aware of any 5.1 iPod/MP3 players, so I still think it's a niche area. Fine for cinematography, large screen large sound, but for music, you have a sound stage in front of you. If you were in the middle of the band, you'd get in their way!
I've listened to some quad (sic) stuff, the SQ (1974) of Dark Side of the Moon, then the SACD 5:1 (2003ish). Also Tomita worked in the surround area with a release or two. Interesting and entertaining to listen to, but when listening in my regular stereo only environment, I don't feel I'm losing anything.
Radio is stereo only, potentially surround when encoded, but interestingly podcasting offers potentially one of the best mediiums for multiple channel mass audio broadcasting, but in the main the portable digital player is personal only with just a pair of earbuds / phones.
So there's an interesting thread, how or where do you most listen to Yello?
For me it is definitely driving the car, and if outside the car, mostly on headphones, with probably only around 5% on a "full" speaker system of sorts.
