I'm not sure what the solution is. It's always been an issue with 
listeners and the album version. It gets far more complex when format 
mixes are added to the mix. That's why I have very serious concerns 
about 5.1 remixes that don't register with listeners the way the 
original they heard did. Most listeners have no idea the songs are 
different until they buy the CD. There's a group of artists who want 
5.1 and are bringing back the original recording engineers to keep 
the mixes as close to the feel of the original as possible. Ken 
Pohlman did an article in Sound and Vision on it.
