Stereo library = all music except multi-channel songs
Multi-channel library = all music except albums marked specifically as stereo 
songs.

i.e. you could add a custom tag MULTICHANNEL=1 to multi-channel songs, and 
where you have duplicate songs in stereo format, add MULTICHANNEL=0.  For all 
other normal albums, don't add the custom tag.

Then you could define the stereo library to contain all music EXCEPT where tag 
MULTICHANNEL=1, and the multichannel library to contain all music EXCEPT where 
MULTICHANNEL=0.

Not sure if there is an easy way to implement a library to choose based on a 
tag.  You can do it by writing custom SQL, and I think there's perhaps a way to 
use a custom skip filter.

I do a similar thing, but by using a include directory path for multi-channel 
music.  i.e. I store multi-channel music in a different path to my normal 
music, and then define a Surround Sound library that only includes music from 
that path.

You could have 3 folders:
1. multi-channel only.
2. stereo version of albums in (1).
3. All other music.

And then make two libraries: (1)+(3) and (2)+(3).

You could alternatively do a similar thing using special genre tags (eg. 
GENRE=Surround Sound or GENRE=Stereo).
