The short answer is no. Dolby Digital is a technology that only supports up to 5.1-channels of audio. There are music albums that contain a 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtrack. The first that comes to mind is the Eagles Hotel California.
Dolby TrueHD can contain 7.1-channels of audio and is found on Blu-ray discs. There are some commercially available concert Blu-ray discs that feature a Dolby TrueHD soundtrack.
Yes. You can purchase music dvd's with the data encoded in Dolby digital format - but it never really caught on, so the availability might be short lived. --EDIT-- The original writer of the question stated that "You can purchase music dvd's with the data encoded in the Dolby digital format." I'm just going to go on a rant, saying that the apostrophe should not be in "dvd's." Does the dvd(s) possess anything? NOOO! Sorry, it just makes me mad that nobody in this country has proper grammar anymore.

Dolby 5.1 is a multi-channel audio format. Basically meaning, it's surround sound. There is a Left, Centre, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround and LFE (Sub) Speaker. Dolby 2.0 is simply 2 speakers, Left and Right. Similar to the Stereo sound you get from your TV. The Dolby bit means it has been compressed and encoded using Dolby technolgies, normally AC3.
Dolby Digital is a catchall term which includes Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital Live, Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby Digital TrueHD (THD) is more common in cinemas, and far more common in homes.DTS also has several variants- DTS, DTS++, DTS-HD, DTS-HD Master AudioDTS-HD Master offers higher data rates than Dolby Digital TrueHD, and this has led to unfounded claims that DTS is better than Dolby Digital in sound quality.However, under identical mastering conditions, the two systems are indistinguishable from one another, both being lossless formats, are bit perfect when properly decoded into Lossless PCM raw audio, producing exactly identical audio.
dolby digital plus 5.1.
A 2-channel digital audio signal, or a encoded DTS or Dolby Digital surround sound audio stream.
Some DVD's have a stereo 2-channel mix (Dolby Digital 2.0), but none feature a Dolby Surround or Pro Logic Surround option in the menus. This is because all DVD players can submix the 5.1 Dolby Digital track and output a Dolby Pro Logic Surround signal through the analog 2-channel outputs.
Many surround receivers have surround simulation capability, however this is not true surround sound. Two-channel analog outputs from a DVD player can be decoded to 3 or 4 channel Dolby Surround (not the same as Dolby Digital or DTS) using the same surround receiver.
DTS (digital theater sound) and Dolby Pro-Logic are two but there may be others.
Dolby Digital or just Dolby
