Hi Nithin These 5.1 MP3 songs that you are talking about are ripped from the DVD which have Dolby or DTS 5.1 sound.The basic difference between these MP3 5.1 songs and the original songs in an audio CD is that the MP3 5.1 songs have extra channels - 2 surrounds,1 center and one Low frequency channel (subwoofer).
The audio CD only has 2 channels but the sound quality is better than these MP3 5.1 songs.MP3 is a lossy (compressed) format,so there is a loss in sound quality.While a audio CD has sound in a lossless format,so you get better sound quality. Also these DTS songs released on the net are ripped from DVDs don't have the sound quality of a commercially released DTS audio CD.This is because the DTS track in DVDs are encoded at a bitrate of around 768kbps while the commercial DTS audio CDs have a bitrate of 1411Kbps. So if your looking for the best 5.1 sound then DTS audio CDs and theatres with DTS/Digital sound are the best to experience them as they have higer bitrate audio when compared to DVDs.
