I think the only distinction that needs to be made is between officially released and unofficially released: Official, Doujin, Bootleg.

And I agree with your points as well, Cedille.
You can also debate what constitutes 'official', so it's no better. Also you'e going on the assumption that all doujin releases are arranges, and not works or soundtracks, which is incorrect.

From the looks of it that CD was originally released as a doujin album then later got published by a commercial label (correct me if I'm wrong.) In that case the original printing of that CD would be doujin and the later printing would be commercial. There's no conflict here, if a doujin artist (formerly or not) releases something on a commercial label it's not a doujin release.
