I don't know how to rip it to 5.1, but foobar can convert to 4 channels/simle surround during playback and it sounds pretty good.

You can, but it wont sound that great compared to a proper 5:1 mix.

Youll need to use Sony's Acid Pro 4.

Rip waves off the cd, put them into Acid Pro 4, create an approximate 5:1 mix

Then with that you can make a AC3 CDR that will play on a dvd player with a 5.1 receiver with a dolby digital decoder.

Heres a more in depth guide to doing it:

I plan on creating my own 5:1 dvd once a get some speakers so i can mix it properly.
