Musicians, consumer electronics giants, broadcast companies, and other media content providers are embracing Microsoft's budding Windows Media 9 Series technologies, now in beta, at an unprecedented rate. This week, singer Peter Gabriel released his latest album, "Up," as both a digital download and traditional in-store CD release, with the downloadable version only available in Windows Media Audio (WMA) 9 format. And because of advances in the new WMA 9 format, Gabriel's downloadable digital album can be had in both stereo and 5.1 channel surround sound versions.
